IWM supervises several Collaborative Doctoral Award students who are researching their PhDs through the Arts and Humanities Research Council's Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships Scheme.
CDAs are supervised by a member of staff at IWM and an academic at a UK university.
The projects 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.

New opportunities to co-supervise PhDs
Deadline 15 December 2023
We are pleased to announce three new AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) proposals, offering co-supervision opportunities for academics in UK universities.
The new studentships starting in October 2024 are:
- Visualising India's Wars in South-East Asia, 1938 - 1947
- War and Modern Fantasy Writing
- The Social Impact of Community Participation and Co-Design in a Museum
We have put together further guidance for those interested in applying for the scheme. You can apply for the studentship using our proposal form.
AHRC CDPs provide funding for PhD research that utilises our collections, resources, or expertise. This research is jointly supervised by the IWM and academic partners.
