Three students from Heythrop College in London have been awarded prestigious studentships from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Heythrop is the specialist philosophy and theology college of the University of London and it was established in 1614 in Louvain by the Society of Jesus.

Joanne Lovesey will begin her PhD on religious language at Heythrop College in September after securing an AHRC studentship which means she will have her fees paid throughout her three-year studies as well as a maintenance grant. The 27-year-old joins Heythrop from the University of Oxford where she completed her postgraduate degree and is planning a career in lecturing.
