Meet Our LSE ESRC DTP Students

Each year, LSE ESRC DTP welcomes new funded students, supported by the ESRC. The DTP is proud of its students, their energy and dedication to their research. We, alongside their departments, support them in completing their research projects and developing as individuals.

From this page you can find our students, their research project and a link to their departmental page (where available) starting from our 2024/25 entry cohort.
