As part of the Faculty of Social Sciences you will have access to world class training alongside your doctoral study.
The Social Sciences Doctoral Training programme is tailored to your individual needs to ensure you have the right skills you need to develop your research.
The training programme is designed to exceed current UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) training and development guidelines and gives all of our social sciences PhD students access to ESRC-funded White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership cohort activities, regardless of your source of funding.
Bespoke methods training is designed and delivered through the Sheffield Methods Institute, which has world class research expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods.
All of our students receive interdisciplinary training and experience opportunities via the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership. Additional discipline-specific training is also provided.
