Budding Professors Take Note: Liverpool Hope University Is Offering A PHD Scholarship For The PSS History Project.

Liverpool Hope University has an outstanding reputation and commitment to research that shapes humanity, science, and society. As part of their continued pledge to invest in research excellence, the University offers a number of Vice Chancellor Scholarships for PhD research annually.

We already have fantastic links with Hope University, hosting over 50 BA and MA Social Work students on placement each year, our team at Hope have also set up a service user group (pictured above) who play a key role in selection for these courses. Hope Uni scholarships cover all subject areas, and this year we’re honoured to announce that the list includes: ‘The Third Sector in welfare provision: History and development of PSS’

With such a rich history spanning nearly 100 years, research into PSS will take the reader right through the radical upheaval of the twentieth century- from an Edwardian era, the depression, the birth of the welfare state, the turbulent 1980’s and right up to the present day. We hope the project will unearth lost details and provide fresh insight into the PSS’ innovation that kick started Legal Aid, the Citizens Advice Bureau and Shared Lives.

The university invites ‘outstanding applicants of a high calibre to pursue PhD research at Liverpool Hope University in selected areas. We are seeking confident, innovative postgraduates with a record of achievement to undertake a broad range of thematic and inter-disciplinary projects.’
