PhD researchers in CRESR also benefit from the Centre's involvement with the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership.

This partnership provides a range of training, collaboration and networking opportunities for PhD researchers.

Candidates will therefore become part of cross-institution cohorts of high-achieving postgraduate researchers with similar research interests.

Your supervisory team will include a Director of Studies and one or more second supervisors with expertise and interest in your research area.

However, much of the work for your degree will be carried out independently, and you will need the initiative, motivation and commitment to succeed.
