Centres for doctoral training

Students at EPSRC-funded centres carry out a PhD-level research project together with taught coursework in a supportive and exciting environment.
  • Background

    Different types of centres, what centres provide, call process.

  • Monitoring and evaluation framework

    This provides a basic framework for the future monitoring and evaluation of all centres for doctoral training, starting with the proposed mid-term review during 2011.

    Background, Proposed evaluation process, Questions to be addressed
  • Basic Technology CDTs

    Three centres each taking ten students per year in; application of next generation accelerators, magnetic resonance and molecular-scale engineering.

  • Securing the future centres

    Our ‘Securing the Future’ centres will each take in around 10 students per year for five years starting in 2009 and cover a wide range of research areas.

  • Industrial doctorate centres

    EPSRC-funded centres for doctoral training provide a supportive and exciting environment for students. Industrial Doctorate is an alternative to the traditional PhD for students who want a career in industry.

  • Digital economy centres

    EPSRC-funded centres for PhD-level research relating to Digital Economy: connect people with digital technology to radically improve the way we live, work, play, and travel.

  • Energy centres

    Our five Energy centres cover research involved in creating new energy technologies and understanding the social and economic implications.

  • Nanoapplications centres

    EPSRC-funded centres for PhD-level research in the area of nanoscience through engineering to application.

  • Complexity science centres

    Three centres bringing together students from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from physics and chemistry to computer science, mathematics and engineering. Students carry out a four-year programme combining taught courses with a PhD project.

  • Life sciences interface centres

    Modern medicine and biology present many exciting challenges that require input from mathematicians, physicists, chemists and engineers. Our 14 doctoral training centres that offer an exciting new multidisciplinary approach to PhD study.

  • Centres listed by university

    54 centres starting from 2009 – researcher-led centres, industrial doctorate, nanoapplications, digital economy, energy, complexity science.
