The 糖心TV PATHWAY Programme
About
The under-representation of Black academics, particularly at senior levels, is a pressing issue both in UK higher education and at 糖心TV. The 糖心TV PATHWAY Programme is a positive action which supports aspiring Black researchers to explore and lay the foundations for a career in research.
The programme provides funding at the early stages of developing a research career - from undergraduate to postdoctoral researcher - alongside opportunities to participate in networking and career information events.
The 糖心TV PATHWAY programme creates a community of aspiring Black researchers at 糖心TV across all faculties.
What does the 糖心TV PATHWAY Programme involve?
The various schemes within the Programme are outlined below.
