About Us

Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council AHRC, the LEAH DLA (London and East of England Arts and Humanities Doctoral Landscape Awards) Hub is led by King’s College London and brings together 12 diverse Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the region. Each Hub institution offers 15 doctoral studentships across five cohorts over eight years through the AHRC Doctoral Landscape scheme.  

The Hub will build a thriving cohort of doctoral scholars and provide opportunities for them to engage with the highest quality of collaborative, cohort-based and interdisciplinary research training for arts and humanities. We also offer cohort development events to bring students together across institutions and disciplines, and students will be encouraged to shape the Hub activities through co-creation opportunities. You can find more about the Hub by clicking on the links in the section below.

The governance and management arrangements for Hub are designed to bring all Hub HEIs and their expertise together to enable the effective delivery of our activities. The key elements are Hub Management Board, which provides strategic oversight for the Hub, and Programme Delivery Group, which focuses on the operational matters.

The Hub HEIs are:
