Collaborative Doctoral Awards
IWM supervises several collaborative doctoral award students who are researching their PhD through the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award Scheme.
CDAs offer the possibility for students to combine academic work leading to a doctorate with the acquisition of practical skills and work experience outside the university context. We can benefit from work on parts of the collections that have not previously been the subject of close study, resulting in improved access to those collections for the full range of IWM users.
As of 2013, IWM is part of the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme and will be supervising three collaborative doctoral award students who will be researching their PhD through this scheme.
Details about our current students and their research are listed here:
Current Student Research Profiles
You can find out more information about students who have completed their PhD under the CDA scheme here:

You can also follow more about their research on our Research Blog.
The IWM will soon be welcoming applications for three new CDP studentships to start in October 2014. Details about the three proposed topics are listed here:
