The College of Humanities - GWR PhD Studentships at the University of Exeter
With the Humanities College of the University of Exeter, GWR expect to be offering funding for several PhD research studentships in 2011, in collaboration with businesses across the UK.

In the context of these studentships , “Business” includes not for profit organisations, Public Sector Research Establishments, such as the NHS Trusts, charities, cultural bodies, museums, archives, NGOs and social enterprises , all of whom are eligible . The external business partner may be based anywhere in the UK, or aboard by prior agreement with GWR.
