White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership

The White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership (WRDTP) is an established partnership of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, York, Bradford, Hull, Manchester Metropolitan, Sheffield Hallam.  Working together since 2017, we are funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and significant investment from each of our partner institutions. Each year we offer a range of social sciences PhD studentships across schemes including our Collaborative Awards, Pathway Awards, Advanced Quantitative Methods Awards and Advanced Data Analytics Awards.  We also offer a comprehensive suite of training to ensure students acquire high levels of methodological and data literacy skills, and are equipped for research leadership.
