The School of Modern Languages and the College of Arts, Humanities and Law at the University of Leicester is seeking expressions of interest from prospective research students in the 2015 Midlands Three Cities AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP).
The Doctoral Training Partnership provides research candidates with enhanced mentoring, subject and skills training (including cross-institutional training), and support in preparing for a career.
