SAS studentships

The School of Advanced Study (SAS), University of London is offering postgraduate studentships, commencing October 2012, and doctoral level in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

The SAS is a group of ten prestigious research Institutes, seven of which offer master’s programmes and doctoral supervision. More details about the Institutes and the courses they offer can be found by visiting the School of Advanced Study Website.

The School’s unique concentration of interdisciplinary Institutes offers an exciting venue for postgraduate work, including the unrivalled library collections in the Bloomsbury area. Students at the School enjoy full access to the academic, sporting and other facilities of the University, as well as proximity to the rich cultural offerings of London. SAS studentships can be held in any subject offered by the School.
