Changes to AHRC Funding Opportunities 2009
- the Block Grant Partnership (BGP)

Since October 2009, the AHRC funds the majority of its postgraduate studentships through a Block Grant Partnership (or 'BGP'), which will be held by certain universities for a period of 5 years. Each BGP includes a number of studentship awards and these are advertised and administered by the individual university. Those universities that do not hold a BGP award will be eligible to enter postgraduate students into the Studentship Competition.

Goldsmiths’s BGP Award
Goldsmiths College was successful in its application for a BGP, having provided evidence of "excellent training and supervision" for our students. Goldsmiths is thus able to offer AHRC postgraduate studentships via the Block Grant Partnership for five years from October 2009.

Note: the spread of available AHRC postgraduate studentships by subject area will vary from year to year. For a list of available studentships, please see Available Studentships by Subject.
