Is The TV PhD Scheme Right for You?
The TV PhD scheme is only open to PhD Students who are currently being funded by the AHRC through an AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP), Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT), or Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP). The student must be within their AHRC funding period and must have the consent of their supervisor in order to apply.
While the scheme is open to students at all stages of their PhD, it may be more beneficial to students who are nearer to the completion of their PhD. It should be noted that the AHRC/ETF Talent Scheme is not an opportunity to undertake research.

A real treat. So exciting to do something outside of what we would typically do as academics. It’s a taster of the TV industry and how you would fit into the industry.
