Excellent funding opportunities are available for PhD study within the
Department of Drama at the University of Exeter. We are offering:

·      Five PhD Studentships: all fees paid for three years plus a Research
Council-equivalent annual maintenance grant for three years. In 2008/09 this
was £12,940; the 2009/10 grant will be announced later in the year.

·      11 PhD Bursaries: £7,000 per year for three years. Bursary recipients
will be required to carry out 80 hours support work a year within the School
in the form of teaching, research support or as International Ambassador.

The Department of Drama is one of the largest and best equipped in the UK.
We offer a supportive and stimulating environment for postgraduate research
and practice and welcome students from all around the world. Our impressive
reputation is backed up by consistently high scores for student satisfaction
and we are ranked 9th in UK for world-leading research (RAE 2008).

We host several major grant awards supporting collaborative research with
national and international partners. Research in Drama is concentrated
around three Centres: the University Centre for Intermedia; the School
Centre for Performance Histories; and the School Centre for Intercultural
Performance. We also have research groupings in Applied Drama, and Theatre
and Writing and Dramaturgy.

Drama¹s research and supervision encompasses research resources in ancient
Greek performance, British Drama 1660-1900 and contemporary British theatre
in the Centre for Performance Histories, performance art, multi-media and
new media and arts/science collaborations in the Centre for Intermedia.

Supervision is available for students who wish to pursue research through
practice or in the more traditional form
