UCL-led doctoral training partnership awarded AHRC funding

The Arts and Humanities Research Council has awarded funding for doctoral training studentships to the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), led by UCL. The partnership includes seven other higher education institutions: King's College London, London School of Economics and Political Science, Queen Mary University of London, the Royal College of Art, The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, the Royal College of Music, the School of Advanced Study (University of London). Together, they will fund and train postgraduate students over five annual cohorts from October 2019. The partnership will also deliver a training environment open to over 2,300 postgraduate research students from across the partnership. The LAHP's key values and strategy have been developed in extensive consultation with six cultural partners. Collaboration with the Museum of London, the Metropolitan Police, and The National Archives will offer students the opportunity to engage with diverse London communities, while the V&A, Google, and the Wellcome Trust will bring expertise to the design, digital and environmental strand of the LAHP training programme. The partnership aims to deliver broad cross-disciplinary experience and training to students.
