ESRC Postgraduate Training Framework announced

The ESRC is announcing changes to the way it supports postgraduate training in the social sciences for students who will commence study from 2011 onwards. The new Postgraduate Training Framework will move the ESRC away from a system of providing training through recognised outlets and individual courses and will instead create a national network of institutional level Doctoral Training Centres (DTC) and Doctoral Training Units (DTU) providing the very best training provision. The primary purpose of the new framework is to further enhance provision for postgraduate training in the UK by building upon the considerable strengths that already exist across the social science research base.
