The Midlands Three Cities Consortium is a doctoral training partnership,

410 PhD student places over five years.

The consortium unites arts and humanities schools and departments at the

Birmingham, Birmingham City University, the University of Nottingham and 
Nottingham Trent University.

PhD students will benefit from access to research experts at some of the 
highest-ranking arts and humanities departments and schools in the

unique interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues at other 
universities across the East and West Midlands working in different 
academic disciplines. This includes advanced training as outlined in the
