Preise und Stipendien

University of Westminster and the National Gallery are pleased to announce the availability of a fully funded collaborative doctoral studentship from 1 October 2026 under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme. The studentship can be studied either full or part-time. It is open to both home and international applicants.

Take One Picture (TOP) was launched in 1995 by the National Gallery and inspired by the work of Windmill Hill Primary School, Swindon. It is a national primary schools programme centred on the in-depth exploration of a single painting each year, encouraging children to respond creatively to its themes and formal qualities, with selected works exhibited at the Gallery. The CDP student will have the opportunity to work at both the University of Westminster and the National Gallery, presenting an exciting opportunity to apply doctoral-level research to education within a gallery setting.

The award pays full maintenance for all students, both home and international. The UKRI National Minimum Doctoral Stipend for 2026/2027 is £21,805 plus London Weighting of £2,000/year and a CDP maintenance payment of £600/year.
