PenARC has a number of PhD studentships linked to project and priority areas. As well as the scientific quality of the proposal and strength of the supervisory team, projects are selected on the basis of the following additional criteria:
This is an important area of capacity development to ensure the continued availability of trained research staff in the longer term. PenARC staff are active as supervisors for other projects across our two University partners.
