AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award Studentships with the London Arts & Humanities Doctoral Training Partnership

AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award Studentships with the London Arts & Humanities Doctoral Training Partnership

The London Arts and Humanities Partnership is pleased to invite applications from outstanding candidates for AHRC-LAHP Collaborative Doctoral Awards for 2020/21 entry.

Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDAs) provide funding for doctoral students to work on a project in collaboration with an organisation outside higher education. They are intended to encourage and develop collaboration and partnerships and to provide opportunities for doctoral students to gain first-hand experience of work outside the university environment.

They enhance the employment-related skills and training available to the research student during the course of the award.

Collaborative Doctoral Awards are not only a route into academia but also provide hands-on work experience in the cultural sector and transferrable skills.

Collaborative Doctoral Awards Available:
