We actively encourage applicants from diverse career paths and backgrounds and from all areas of our community regardless of; age, disability, ethnicity, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation, amongst other protected characteristics. Candidates should have a degree in a relevant field to their chosen project. The ACCE DTP Universities (Liverpool, Sheffield and York) generally require the equivalent of a minimum 2:1 in your first degree, but exceptions can be made where applicants can demonstrate excellence in alternative ways. At ACCE we recognise that there are many ways to show excellence (including, but not restricted to, performance in masters courses, internships or employment). We are happy to consider applications from candidates with lower than a 2:1 award where excellence can be demonstrated in other ways – this would be considered on a case by case basis, and dependent upon approval from the relevant host institution.
ACCE DTP studentships are available to UK and international students. Due to UKRI funding regulations we are only able to offer up to 30% of our studentships to international applicants.
Further information regarding eligibility can be found in the UKRI terms and conditions.
