Scottish Human Geography Consortium TWO ESRC Postgraduate Research Studentship Opportunities (1+3/+3), 2009 start The Scottish Human Geography Consortium incorporates human geography delivery units at the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, and Strathclyde. It provides ESRC-recognised specialist postgraduate training in the form of the Kindrogan Postgraduate Training Weekend and other activities, and has played a central role in cultivating a vibrant and meaningful Scotland-wide network of postgraduate scholars.
