ESRC Wales Doctoral Training Partnership
We are the lead partner in the Economic and Social Research (ESRC) Wales Doctoral Training Partnership, providing PhD students across Wales and beyond with access to top quality research training in the social and economic sciences.
Overview
The Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) trains top-level social scientists across Wales on a range of issues affecting society today. We are building on and developing a track record of successful social science doctoral training collaboration in Wales – the DTP and its predecessor have offered around 60 new postgraduate studentships every year. We prepare doctoral students for their future careers through the generation of knowledge and building of intellectual capacities and research skills that allow outstanding contributions to be made to environmental, political, economic and social development.
In response to the new UKRI eligibility criteria, we are pleased to announce that we will be offering International fee discounts for successful UKRI applicants. The fees will be discounted to the home fees level. This approach ensures that students regardless of nationality or financial means will be able to apply for our prestigious UKRI studentships. Successful applicants will receive a fully-funded studentship and will not be charged the international fee difference.
