A strategic collaboration between the universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York has been awarded one of the UK’s biggest doctoral training centres for postgraduate researchers in the social sciences

Accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in January 2011, the White Rose Social Science Doctoral Training Centre will facilitate collaboration across the social sciences at the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York through the award of 48 postgraduate studentships per year.

By combining the expertise of the White Rose Universities, the DTC will deliver excellent supervision, first class training and vibrant intellectual environments for postgraduate research students. It will enable them to participate in our national and international networks of industrial partners, opinion formers, policy makers and academics, and will produce doctoral graduates with outstanding skills and flexibility.

All three institutions have ambitious strategies to develop research and scholarship to make a major impact upon global society. The social sciences are a key feature of our various efforts to promote interdisciplinary research in partnership with colleagues in science, medicine and the arts and developing a large and vibrant social science post-graduate research community with access to the very best subject specific, core, advanced and skills based training is an integral part of these strategies.
