The Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership is a really exciting opportunity for candidates to join Coventry and undertake their PhD in a thriving research community. This current opportunity will see our third cohort joining the University from September 2021 across four of our Research Centres and will benefit from not only the training opportunities through M4C, but also the broad suite of workshops offered through the Doctoral College & Centre for Research Capability at Coventry.
