About
The CAM Doctoral Training Partnership [DTP] is a consortium between Anglia Ruskin University, the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Cambridge, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council [ESRC].
Our collective environment of excellent research and impact is an ideal complement for the interdisciplinary training of diverse social scientists. CAM-DTP PhD students at the University of Cambridge will join a hub for regional change addressing key societal challenges. We are keen to attract talented doctoral researchers from a wide range of backgrounds. A CAM-DTP studentship award provides maintenance [£20,780 p.a in 25-26] and University Postgraduate Fees at the Home rate.
DTP students also have access to grants for additional training costs, and may apply for further discretionary funding to contribute to fieldwork costs, academic exchange, and collaboration with non-academic organisations. Studentships are available to UK, EU and international candidates.
You MUST be nominated for a CAM-DTP award by your Faculty/Department.
- Departments will automatically consider all eligible applicants who have applied for admission by the appropriate funding deadline and have indicated that they wish to be considered for funding;
- Deadlines are specific to the course you are applying to - please refer to the funding deadline provided for your course in the Postgraduate Prospectus;

Awards will be offered during the period April to July 2026 via departments. If you have not had any correspondence by 1 August 2026 you may assume you have been unsuccessful. Awards cannot be deferred to the following academic year.
