The Student-led Training Fund (SLTF) supports SCDTP students who wish to design and deliver bespoke training opportunities that benefit fellow doctoral researchers across the partnership.
Each year, the South Coast DTP allocates up to £4,000 (subject to student numbers) to fund student-led training initiatives. These events or workshops must be relevant to the training and development needs of social science researchers and should be open to participants from across the entire DTP network.
Successful examples from the Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) have included training in audio-visual media production, policy communication, and knowledge exchange methodologies.
How to Apply
There is no application form for Student-led Training Fund (SLTF), instead, students are expected to prepare a written proposal that sets out the relevance, feasibility, and benefit of the proposed training to the wider student cohort.
If you have an idea for a particular training course you would like to organise, please contact the SCDTP Manager at 📧 scdtp@soton.ac.uk.
When preparing for your application, please ensure that your proposal is developed in line with the Finance Guidance and your University’s Finance Procedures.
