I’ve been accepted onto an MA by Research in the humanities at Warwick. My intention was to potentially apply for PhDs upon completion. However I understand that AHRC funding has now changed to be more project-based than individual-led. I’m wondering if anyone can explain how the new system works as I’m a bit confused by it. I work within English and American Studies so to be honest the likelihood of a project coming up that would be relevant to my interests is essentially nil.

Considering the changes to funding, I’m also somewhat reconsidering the MA. I would be self-funding the MA, and to be honest if the chances of undertaking a PhD are minuscule then I’m not sure if the course will be worth it.
