Centres for Doctoral Training (CDT)
Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) are block grants made to consortia of Research Organisations (ROs), providing funding for five cohorts of students. They complement the Doctoral Training Partnerships, and provide further capacity for postgraduate funding in priority areas: Design, Modern Languages and Heritage. The AHRC also supports the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Media and Arts Technology at Queen Mary, University of London.
CDT awards have recruited five cohorts of students, commencing from the 2014/15 academic year. They recruited their final cohort of students in the 2018/19 academic year. The CDTs recruited students on an annual basis. The AHRC played no part in the assessment and selection of students.
