Sheffield Hallam is committed to addressing barriers to higher education for under-represented groups. All our PhD scholarships will be advertised on our website when open for applications, and the adverts will include eligibility criteria and guidance for applicants.
- Sheffield Hallam Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) PhD scholarships for Black, Asian and minority ethnic British candidates
We are offering up to three GTA PhD scholarships for candidates who have UK (Home) tuition fee status and identify as being from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background.
GTA scholarships are designed to develop the next generation of academics, providing structured opportunities for development and experience in learning, teaching and assessment. As part of their academic development, GTA scholarship holders will receive training in teaching and learning and will undertake up to 180 hours’ teaching-related activity per academic year. This activity forms part of the scholarship holder’s training and there is no additional payment for it.
These opportunities are offered as part of the Research Institute GTA scholarships. For 2024/25 entry, we are offering up to:
- 1 scholarship in arts and social sciences research areas (excluding Sheffield Business School) – this will be in either our Culture and Creativity Research Institute or our Social and Economic Research Institute
- 1 scholarship in Sheffield Business School research areas – this will be in our Social and Economic Research Institute
- 1 scholarship in biomolecular sciences, engineering, materials, computing and maths research areas – this will be in our Industry and Innovation Research Institute
Applicants should apply for a GTA scholarship as advertised by the relevant Research Institute and indicate in their application that they would like to be considered for an Opportunity GTA Scholarship. Note that each Research Institute operates different timescales and closing dates for the GTA scholarships applications.
