The White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) offers a unique and internationalised doctoral training programme across three of the UK’s top universities. Alongside traditional research, the training is tailored towards an increasingly global context of scholarship and fosters collaborations with partner organisations inside and outside of academia. Over three years, our fully-funded candidates produce an individual professional training plan and join a vibrant doctoral cohort that stretches across the Arts and Humanities departments at the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and York. With a concentrated vision towards post-doctoral prospects, during this time we equip our researchers to become leaders in their chosen field while developing a range of transferable skills and industry connections to enter a competitive job market, and support them in sharing specialist knowledge across institutional, professional and cultural boundaries.
Why WRoCAH? We are one of 10 Doctoral Training Partnerships, all of which are supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. As part of this extensive and forward-thinking network, our programme meets the challenges of our current climate by pushing research into areas of innovation and real-world impact. We work closely with leading external organisations including museums, galleries, archives and libraries; arts and heritage organisations; creative industries; design, manufacturing and retail; publishing and performing arts; media; and charities and the public sector. By establishing a mutually beneficial relationship between research and its wider context, we ensure our researchers can make valuable contributions and adapt to changing social, environmental and economic demands.
