We asked each Russell Group university how many PhD students they had recruited in Arts and Humanities between 2015-2018 and how many full time, permanent staff they had recruited in the same period. Here are the results.
University of Manchester: 1,234 doctoral candidates began a PhD in the Faculty of Humanities between January 2015 and December 2018. The Faculty hired 163 permanent full time staff in the same period. There is an 87% difference here.
