The North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP) is led by the University of Liverpool. The Director, Deputy Director and NWSSDTP Office are all based at the University of Liverpool but are responsible for managing DTP activity across all five Universities within the consortium. Each University also has an academic Institutional Lead and a nominated administrative contact, who coordinate local DTP activity. Details of these role holders can be found on the Contact Us page.

The NWSSDTP is governed through a series of committees and groups:

• Strategy Board
• Academic Management Committee
• Studentship Allocation Committee
• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee
• Training, Employability and Knowledge Exchange (TEKE) Panel
• Institutional Pathway Forums

All of the constituent Universities of NWSSDTP have signed a Memorandum of Agreement which governs the activity of the consortium.
