AHRC Funded Doctoral Studentships in Translation/Interpreting Studies



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).
TECHNE<http://www.techne-research.co.uk>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 TECHNE <http://www.techne-research.co.uk> to find out more about the
aims and opportunities of TECHNE.

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.
