The Arts and Humanities Research Council supports research within a huge subject domain from traditional humanities subjects, such as history, modern languages and English literature, to the creative and performing arts. The AHRC funds research and postgraduate study within the UK's higher education institutions. In addition, on behalf of the Higher Education Funding Council for England, it provides funding for museums, galleries and collections that are based in, or attached to, higher education institutions in England.
The RCA has been successful in securing considerable AHRC funding through a wide-variety of the AHRC funding schemes. Details of RCA research projects funded by the AHRC can be found within the relevant AHRC research scheme.
