There are two separate routes through which you can apply for a SWW DTP2 doctoral studentship.
Applications for entry in 2021 have now closed.
Please see here for UKRI/AHRC fee and stipend levels for 2021-22
We invite high-quality applications from prospective students who wish to propose their own research project. Your preferred supervisors must have agreed to supervise your project and you will have to apply both to the SWW DTP2 and to the institution where your lead supervisor is based. You should work closely with your preferred supervisors when framing your application. Their advice will help optimize your submission.

Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDAs) are doctoral studentship projects which are developed by consortium academics working in collaboration with an organisation outside of higher education. The supervisory team is pre-determined and consists of two consortium academics and a member of the partner organisation.
CDAs provide students with an opportunity to gain first-hand experience of work outside the university environment and enhance the employment-related skills and training which a student may gain during the course of their award.
Eight CDA awards are available in this year’s competition for entry in September 2021. Find out more about the CDAs available for 2021 here.
SWW DTP2 is actively seeking to increase the diversity of students to whom awards are offered and we therefore encourage applicants from every and any ethnic background to apply. We hope to make at least 3 awards to students from BAME backgrounds. This is a target intended to encourage applications. It is not a quota: only applications that meet our stringent quality expectations will be offered awards. We operate in line with all relevant legislation governing positive action and do not make positive discrimination.
