The Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at

students from overseas, the EU, and the UK to study the history of
science and/or technology at Masters and PhD-level at the Centre (please
note that research projects in the history of medicine are not eligible).

Scholarships are available as:

-- a one-plus-three year award (1+3 award), which funds the student to
take one of the KCL MA History programmes, with progression to doctoral
study at CHoSTM subject to satisfactory completion of the MA; or

-- a three-year award (+3 award), to fund doctoral study only, for
students who already have a Master's degree in the history of science,
technology, and/or medicine (HSTM), or a Master's degree in History or a
related humanities or social science field with an HSTM taught component
or HSTM research experience.

Applicants should have an exceptional academic track record and
outstanding research potential in the history of science and/or
technology. The award covers fees (at home or overseas rates) and a
maintenance grant equivalent to that offered by the UK Arts and
Humanities Research Council (AHRC) for the duration of the award
(current value detailed here: 
https://www.lahp.ac.uk/apply-for-a-studentship/ ).

Applicants for either award are advised to contact a prospective
supervisor to discuss research interests and proposal.Staff at KCL
