    Following our response to the Review of the PhD in the Social Sciences, we're implementing a revised vision for postgraduate training . Over the next five years, ESRC will invest in 15 doctoral training partnerships spanning 89 institutions. More: ukri.org/news/esrc-anno…
    “Our vision for postgraduate training is that it will develop globally competitive social science researchers who can operate in interdisciplinary, collaborative, and challenge-led environments across a range of sectors and who have a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. 
 
This redesigned and expanded doctoral training opportunity will enhance the experience for PhD students and boost the UK’s capability.”
