CENTRES FOR DOCTORAL TRAINING (CDT)

The main Training Centres relevant to TYC include:

* The CDT in Theory and Simulation of Materials at Imperial College

* The EngD Centre in Molecular Modelling and Materials Science at UCL

Here, we give a brief summary of each Centre, with links to the web-site where more details can be found.

Please note that although the TYC publicises the CDTs and helps students find available PhD positions, the studentships themselves belong to the Centre for Doctoral Training.

DTC IN THEORY AND SIMULATION OF MATERIALS AT IMPERIAL COLLEGE

This is a four-year PhD programme, whose aim is to train physical science and engineering postgraduates to carry out cutting-edge multidisciplinary research in the theory and simulation of materials.

THE ENGD CENTRE IN MOLECULAR MODELLING AND MATERIALS SCIENCE AT UCL

Often described as a PhD+, the Engineering Doctorate is a four-year programme, designed to train research leaders to a high level and to give them industrial experience. The UCL Centre is run by the Chemistry Department, but the EngD students are registered in a range of departments, including Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
