NINE DTP has a dedicated Economic and Social History Pathway, which is a collaboration between Queen's, Newcaste and Durham unversities.

Please get in touch with the contact person at your intended home institution to discuss potential research avenues, and to identify a suitable supervisory team, before applying.

To qualify for a +3 scholarship, applicants must additionally hold a good Master's degree with a sufficient research training element in a relevant discipline.
