    *Royal Holloway is the lead member of the TECHNE
    <http://www.techne.ac.uk/> London and South-East Doctoral Training
    Partnership, which offers Arts and Humanities Research Council
    (AHRC) awards for those commencing postgraduate study in September
    2016*.


    TECHNE <http://www.techne.ac.uk/> (http://www.techne.ac.uk)
    <http://www.techne.ac.uk/> comprises seven universities and is one
    of the 11 AHRC Doctoral Training Partnerships
    <http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/skills/phdstudents/fundingandtraining/dtps/>.
    TECHNE's vision is to produce scholars who are highly motivated and
    prepared for academic, public or professional life. Its students
    will benefit from a diverse range of training workshops and
    opportunities to engage with partners in the arts and cultural sector.

    Students may apply to TECHNE for a doctoral award by submitting a
    TECHNE application through Royal Holloway.  If you are interested in
    applying for a TECHNE award, the first step is to speak to a
    prospective supervisor or the Director of Graduate Studies

<https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studyhere/researchdegrees/directorsofgraduatestudies.aspx> 
((sarah.wright /at/ rhul.ac.uk)
    <mailto:(sarah.wright /at/ rhul.ac.uk)>). It is not possible to submit an
    application directly to TECHNE: you must apply through one of the
    member universities. Overseas students are not eligible for AHRC
    awards (although they may be considered for other College awards),
    and EU students are eligible for fees only.


    There are around *50 awards per annum* for students who are applying
    to undertake PhD study. Students who apply for a TECHNE award will
    be considered automatically for a College Scholarship.

    **

    *How to apply***

    Prospective doctoral students who are interested in applying for a
    studentship should contact the Director of Graduate Studies, Dr
    Sarah Wright. *The deadline for applications is 7 February 2016*
    (note that all references must also be received by this deadline).


    Students whose research falls within the remit of */Freedom and
    Rights of the Individual in the Digital Age/ may be considered for
