Diamond Science and Technology

Fully funded MSc + PhD for UK and EU students*

Information session

Thursday 10 May, 2pm

Materials and Analytical Science Building (MAS), Room 2.06

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Diamond Science and Technology (DST), has diamond-based research at the core of all activities. The DST CDT involves a consortium of nine UK universities, led by Warwick, and over thirty companies, keen to exploit the vast potential of diamond.

The four-year Diamond Science and Technology Programme combines a one-year MSc at Warwick and a linked three-year PhD at one of nine partner institutions.

There are still fully funded studentships available to start in September 2018. The tax free stipend currently £14,777 per annum (2018-19 rate)*.

In Year 1, students undertake a purpose-designed MSc in Diamond Science and Technology (includes modules on Materials, New Technologies and Applications) at Warwick University. The MSc includes two, ten-week mini-projects at two different universities or industrial partners, which link to the theme of their chosen PhD. The PhD takes place in Years 2-4 at Warwick or one of the partner universities.

PhD projects are available in the areas of Quantum Technologies, Optics & Photonics, Electronics & Devices, Geophysics, Manufacturing, Theory & Computation, and Medical, Biophysics & Biochemistry.

Applicants should hold or expect to be awarded a first or upper second class honours BSc, MSc or MPhys, MChem, MEng, etc. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Earth Science, Engineering or in an appropriate related discipline.

Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) are one of the three main ways by which the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) provides support for Doctoral Training. EPSRC-funded centres bring together diverse areas of expertise to train scientists and engineers with the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle today's evolving issues, and future challenges. They also provide a supportive and exciting environment for students, create new working cultures, build relationships between teams in universities and forge lasting links with industry.
