*Ring Fenced Studentships*
The NWCDTP is committed to equality of opportunity and working to ensure
our cohort of postgraduate researchers reflects the diverse community we
serve. We have introduced a range of positive measures to assist in
achieving these commitments, recognising in particular that postgraduate
researchers from Global Majority, Disabled, and Socioeconomically
Unequal communities are currently underrepresented on our programmes and
across the UK university sector. The introduction of these measures
follows a review of our recruitment processes and forms part of a
three-year plan we have developed to achieve greater diversity and
better equality outcomes.
One of the steps we have taken as part of that plan was to introduce
ring-fenced studentships during a 2 year period (2021-2023). In 2022/3,
we will guarantee one candidate from Global Majority (including
heritage) communities a studentship. Applicants from these groups will,
of course, also be considered as part of our recruitment to all of the
available studentships. Students who consider themselves to be from
socioeconomically unequal backgrounds are able to apply for our Broken
Pipeline scholarship. Finally, as a means for addressing problematic
disparity within the discipline, we are offering one ring-fenced
studentship to a Female (female in this context meaning anyone
identifying as a woman) Philosophy student. These ring-fenced
studentships, apart from the Broken Pipeline scholarship, are open to
International applicants.
Applicants wishing to apply for one of the ring-fenced studentships will
have the opportunity to identify themselves on the application form as
wishing to be considered for these targeted studentships. Their
applications will be considered as part of the standard award
competition and will be subject to the same assessment criteria and
schedule (see how to apply above).
*Applications workshops*
