[ecrea] AHRC Midlands4Cities funding for UK/EU students at DMU's Cinema and Television History Research Institute

Tue Oct 23 11:48:01 GMT 2018





The AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership <https://www.midlands4cities.ac.uk/midlands4cities.aspx> (M4C) brings together eight leading universities across the Midlands to support the professional and personal development of the next generation of arts and humanities doctoral researchers. M4C is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, University of Warwick, Coventry University, University of Leicester, De Montfort University, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.

M4C is awarding up to 80 doctoral studentships for UK/EU applicants for 2019 through an open competition and 12 Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDA) through a linked competition with a range of partner organisations in the cultural, creative and heritage sector.

The Cinema and Television History Research Institute (CATHI) is a centre of excellence in archival screen heritage.
