YOUR PHD IN THE THOMAS YOUNG CENTRE

Some of the many reasons for doing your PhD in a TYC research group:

World-leading research groups
Excellent graduate education and training
Lively programme of seminars, workshops and other events
Large supportive community: easy to meet other students
Strong links to international academia, government, industry: helpful to your career

Supervisors in TYC research groups advertise their PhD positions but often there are further opportunities available by directly contacting group supervisors.

You are encouraged to contact the supervisors informally by e-mail to find out about any available opportunities, obtain more details, and to find out if your qualifications are suitable. It is always a good idea to attach your c.v. when you first make contact.
