Centres of Doctoral Training
Centres of Doctoral Training
We host a variety of interdisciplinary Centres of Doctoral Training, which aim to provide postgraduate researchers with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle today's global issues. They bring together various areas of expertise and offer a dynamic environment for PhD student training. We have 15 CDTs actively recruiting cohorts, with six continuing after appointing their final cohort.
Each Centre of Doctoral Training offers multiple scholarships to successful doctoral candidates in a particular research area which provide full payment of academic fees and a UKRI level stipend for 3.5 - 4 years (dependant on the particular CDT), plus access to funding to support research costs. They also provide enhanced support for research and professional development training, with some Centres offering an initial training year either as an integrated part of the PGR programme, or as a separate PGT award.
Analytical Sciences
Producing postgraduates with a unique combination of skills in exploiting synergies between different experimental methods and in harnessing the power of combining data collection with experimental design, analysis and simulation.
Computer Sciences
Providing a stimulating research environment and opportunities for doctoral researhcers to gain foundational training, specialist knowledge, multi-disciplinary expertise and the leadership skills necessary for future computer science researchers.
Diamond Science
A gateway to the best in the UK's diamond research. Producing researhcers with a skill set that matches the interdisciplinary nature of research required to establish the UK as a front runner in the development and exploitation of emerging DST.
