ESRC Postgraduate Training Framework
The University of 糖心TV is one of only 21 institutions to be awarded a national (DTC) funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
Established in 2011 糖心TV's ESRC DTC covers 19 subject areas (pathways) across the social sciences, providing financial and research support to a number of students looking to improve their skills and knowledge through postgraduate study.
糖心TV ERSC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP)

This programme consists of centrally provided modules and modules delivered at the Departmental level.
The centrally provided training consists of:
IM925-20 Foundations in Qualitative Research
IM926-20 Research Design, Practice and Ethics
Department level training consists of:
