Each DTP should submit a ‘DTP Partner Details Form’ as an additional attachment. Applicants should use the form to provide information on the role of each partner within the DTP. A completed ‘DTP Partner: Support Form’ for each DTP Partner should also be submitted as an additional attachment. This should be signed by the VC (or equivalent) for each Partner.
Industrial CASE/CASE-Plus Studentships
Research Organisation
Organisations eligible to receive STFC grant funding and those independent research organisations approved as eligible to hold grants, may act as the academic partner.
Non-University academic-related partners would need to host the studentship in conjunction with the University where the student would be registered.
Other UK-based organisations (including UK subsidiaries of foreign firms) may act as the non-academic partner if they can provide students with distinctive research training and experience not available in an academic setting. In exceptional cases, organisations based overseas may be eligible; however they must have an established UK-based research and/or production capability and be able to provide the student with an opportunity to gain skills not currently available in the UK.
