London Interdisciplinary Social Science DTP

The Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) funds the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP) for PhD or Masters+PhD study at Queen Mary University of London. This DTP is in partnership with Kings College London and Imperial College. It provides social science research students with a unique opportunity to join and develop a research community that springs from the interface between the social science disciplines with health and medicine, the natural and physical sciences, engineering, and the arts and humanities. Depending on previous degrees, students may be admitted for the 1+3 (Masters + PhD over 4 years) or +3 (PhD only) pathway. The award is fully funded for UK students and covers tuition fees and living costs. EU students can apply for a LISS DTP studentship on a fees-only basis, with potential stipend funding available through institutional money. There are 13 thematic pathways funded through this DTP focusing on interdisciplinary research at the interface of social sciences with other disciplines.
