Applications must be submitted through one of the NWSSDTP’s subject pathways and must be for an eligible programme within that pathway.

Applicants should therefore carefully review the available pathways and confirm that their proposed programme is eligible before beginning an application.

The partnership also welcomes applications for part-time study, giving prospective researchers greater flexibility when planning their postgraduate studies.

The programme is particularly relevant to candidates interested in developing research careers in the social sciences and related interdisciplinary areas.

Interested candidates should begin by reviewing the eligible subject pathways and programmes provided by the NWSSDTP. Applicants can then access the official studentship guidance and application paperwork and submit their completed application through the appropriate School PGR Administrator.

The official NWSSDTP website provides information on the application process, eligible pathways, priority areas, Global Majority directed studentships and examples of successful applications.

Applicants should carefully follow the official instructions because eligibility and programme requirements may differ between pathways and participating institutions.
