London Social Science
Goldsmiths and Queen Mary are submitting a bid to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for accreditation as a collaborative Doctoral Training Centre in the social sciences beginning 2011-12. If our bid is successful we will become one of 20-25 national centres to receive ESRC funding under this new initiative to train the next generation of social scientists. As research-intensive institutions, and as colleges of the federal University of London, Queen Mary and Goldsmiths are already committed to the highest standards in postgraduate education, and so it is a logical extension of our core mission to seek this form of research council recognition. By working together, we will raise even higher the standard of our postgraduate training and widen opportunities for the entire social science cohort at both institutions.
