<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a member of the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership, University of
Surrey students are eligible to apply for Arts and Humanities Research Council
(AHRC) studentships (stipend and fee waiver). <a href="http://www.techne-research.co.uk"><span style="color:blue">TECHNE</span></a>
is a consortium of seven universities in London and the South East offering a
rich and diverse training programme for doctoral students with a focus on
interdisciplinarity and developing career potential both in and beyond higher
education. Studentships are awarded by TECHNE to the best students put forward
by its member universities. The TECHNE training programme is enhanced by input
and placement opportunities provided by TECHNE’s 13 partner organisations
(including the Barbican, Natural History Museum, Museum of London, BFI and
Science Museum) in the cultural sector. Please visit <a href="http://www.techne-research.co.uk"><span style="color:blue">TECHNE</span></a>
to find out more about the aims and opportunities of TECHNE.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TECHNE – the Consortium is named in reference to the Greek term for
craft – will create a new model for collaborative research skills training for
PGR students across seven higher education institutions (Royal Holloway,
Brighton University, Kingston University, Roehampton University, Royal College
of Art, University of Surrey, University of the Arts London). TECHNE’s vision
is to produce scholars who are highly motivated and prepared for academic,
public or professional life. Students will benefit from a diversity of training
opportunities and be able to draw on supervisory expertise from across the
Consortium.</p>
