The deadline for ESRC applications (2010 entry) for quota and competition awards (with the exception of Economics) to the University of Sussex was Friday 26 February.
Over 2010, the ESRC are implementing a new postgraduate strategy and changing the way they organise postgraduate training and the allocation of studentships across all universities. From 2011, ESRC-funded postgraduate training in the social sciences will be delivered through a new network of Doctoral Training Centres (DTCs) and Doctoral Training Units (DTUs). The DTC and DTU network will seek to draw together expertise and good practice from within institutions and aims to ensure that this is fully exploited through the development of collaborative arrangements between Universities.
Sussex has more than 400 registered doctoral students undertaking social science research, many of whom work with a supervisory team which crosses departments or Schools. This makes us a significant focus for doctoral training, and interdisciplinary training in particular, in ESRC recognised areas in the UK.
More information on ESRC-funded opportunities at Sussex will be available on this page in early September 2010.
