Student Reps
Student Representatives play an important role in shaping the NINE DTP experience. They act as a link between award holders and the DTP team, helping to surface issues, share feedback, and contribute to the ongoing development of training, opportunities, and support across the partnership. Reps bring a student perspective into NINE DTP discussions and help ensure that decisions are informed by lived experience across different institutions, pathways, and stages of study.
Student Reps attend selected NINE DTP committees and forums, gather and reflect student feedback, and help communicate updates and opportunities back to the wider cohort. The role is not about representing individual concerns, but about identifying patterns, priorities, and ideas that can improve the DTP for everyone. We view this as a valuable leadership and development opportunity, supported by the DTP.

I am a Human Geography PhD student at Durham University, part of the 2023 cohort. My research is on people’s experience with qi-based holistic medicine in Taiwan and Northeast England. I wanted to be a student representative because I would like to know all NINE scholars better! Everyone is welcomed to contact me via email (link below) or WhatsApp (+886978495635).
