The DTC is one of just 21 centres to receive accreditationÂ by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the national body funding research and training in social and economic issues. It will therefore play a key role in helping to produce the next generation of world-class researchers.

Nottingham was chosen due to its excellent track record of fostering multidisciplinary research, bringing together social sciences, science, engineering, medicine and the arts; its coherent vision and strategy for the promotion of social sciences; and the clear relevance of its global perspective on issues covered by social science research.

The DTC receives significant ESRC backing, together with additional funding provided by partners in industry, non-governmental organisations and the University itself, making it one of the largest postgraduate social science doctoral training centres in Europe.Â The Centre will provide financial and research support to around 200 students undertaking cutting-edge interdisciplinary research covering 14 major thematic areas as follows:

The DTC works alongside the Universityâs Graduate School which was established in 1994 to provide a world-class research training and development environment for postgraduates and early career researchers. The Universityâs Research Board also provides significant funding for the Centre in line with its target to grow and deliver influential world-class research and knowledge transfer addressing global issues and challenges in the Universityâs nine Research Priority Groups.

There is now an exciting opportunity to join our vibrant community of over 600 social science research students at one of the most dynamic research training centres in one of the most prestigious universities in the world. For more information visit the Nottingham ESRC DTC website.
