Arts & Humanities Research Council Centre for Doctoral Training Programme 2019/20
As we are no longer recruiting new students we are planning on evolving our training programme away from an emphasis on new students, to focus on topics that will be more relevant to our maturing cohort. We are in the process of planning sessions on analytical methods/strategies appropriate to practice, the practice-based PhD Viva and career opportunities, amongst others. Taking a student-centred approach, we are keen for you to suggest topics for training and critical discourse that you would find valuable, so please get in touch with the academic lead.
