CDT Programme

CDT students participate in a structured programme of training in the first year. They attend a number of core modules and a variety of other training activities to help them prepare for PhD research in later years. Students also undertake research and write a first-year project, which will often forms the basis of the main PhD thesis.

For a PhD in Statistics there are several "regular" competitive sources of funding for students, many of which pay for academic fees plus a contribution to the living expenses of successful applicants.
