The main goal of the DTC training programme is to prepare a new generation of doctoral graduates for future research and leadership challenges in a globally competitive market place.

To this end we aim to:

  • Provide a stimulating training experience that encourages students to excel, within a seamless multidisciplinary learning environment.
  • Encourage students to take charge of their development, by giving them ownership of their training, informing them, providing a flexible course structure, and advice and mentoring on personal development and career path.
  • Develop topical courses that balance cutting edge technologies, with fundamental principles, core concepts, and professional transferable skills, delivered through best practice teaching techniques.
  • Foster innovative cutting-edge internationally competitive research.
  • Work in partnership with industry, to broaden the industrial experience of the students, maintain relevance, and aid rapid routes to exploitation and technology transfer.
