Kings College London Postgraduate Scholarship Details

King’s College London is offering fully funded PhD studentships in the History of International Development in the Global South for the 2026 academic year.

This prestigious opportunity is part of a major research initiative examining how development projects were experienced, contested, and reshaped across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The PhD studentships are embedded within the research project:

Led by Agnieszka Sobocinska and funded by the European Research Council, this five-year project explores how international development initiatives unfolded in practice between the 1950s and 1990s.
