We support postgraduate research through our Reading Rooms and online resources, through collaborative projects, and through research training events. These partnerships explore and open up our collections to enhance our engagement with different research and public audiences.
Collaborative doctoral research
We co-supervise doctoral research in partnership with universities from across the country, covering a range of disciplines and subject areas. This includes projects developed through the Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships programme.
Doctoral training partnerships
We also work closely with university partners to support postgraduate research training initiatives across all disciplines. We are currently a partner in multiple doctoral training consortia
PhD research placement scheme
Our annual placement scheme offers doctoral researchers from all disciplines the chance to develop and apply transferrable skills and expertise outside the university sector. Projects cover activities ranging from vital support for cataloguing, conservation and interpretation to policy research, resource development and research engagement.
The next round of placement applications will take place in early 2020 and further information will be posted on this page.
