Collaborative and Strategic Joint Studentships
In addition to our pathway-specific studentships, the Midlands Graduate School DTP will offer a number of Collaborative Studentships involving research or other activities with external public, private or third sector organisations. As part of the Midlands Graduate School, we also offer a number of Strategic Joint ESRC DTP Studentships. Students will be fully registered and hosted at one of the Midlands Graduate School institutions, but will have a second supervisor at another MGS institution.
Applications for Collaborative and Strategic Joint studentships for October 2026 entry are now closed. Some further opportunities may become available over the coming weeks and details will be presented below.
For information on supervisor-led opportunities for entry in October 2026, please refer to the email you will have received from the pathway contact at your institution.
