Doctoral Training Programmes

Our Doctoral Training Programmes (DTPs) give researchers fully-funded opportunities to complete a PhD at one of our research centres of excellence. Unlike a self-funded PhD, our Doctoral Training Programmes provide researchers with a framework to follow for their proposal which gives ample opportunity for training, support and development throughout the programme. Many of our Doctoral programmes are run in partnership with other universities or industry-leaders.
