Funded Centres and Partnerships
At the University of Exeter, we have a number of highly respected Research Council-funded Doctoral Training Partnerships.
These research centres offer the following benefits for prospective doctoral and PhD students:
- increased access to funding opportunities in the form of studentships;
- research supervision and training from more than one institution, providing a more well-rounded PhD experience, helping you to produce outstanding research which contributes to real-world issues;
- opportunities to engage in research collaborations with leading researchers from across the partnership.
You can find out more about these partnerships and centers on our dedicated webpages for Funded Centres.
