1. The 2023 ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) student survey link is now live and will be open from Friday 23 June for 6 weeks.

The ESRC recognise that the student voice is an important factor in monitoring our doctoral training investments.  The student survey allows us to collate feedback on how our investments are performing and identify any priority areas for future engagement. We very much value the student feedback we receive.
