CDT Programmes
The School of Physics has a world-class reputation for research and teaching excellence, with a vibrant and diverse community of postgraduate students and programmes. The School currently has a range of Doctoral Training Centres that provide us with leading, cutting edge research and training offerings for postgraduates. The CDT courses currently on offer within the School are listed below.
CDT in Quantum Information Science and Technologies
The Quantum Information Science and Technologies (QIST) programme offers a unique postgraduate training and development experience for those wishing to pursue a career in the quantum information science and technologies sector. It supports both fundamental and applied research that will enable new forms of computation, sensing, and communications that address major societal challenges.
CDT in Superconductivity
New for 2025, our Superconductivity CDT programme aims to develop knowledge and understanding as well as conduct research in the broad interdisciplinary subject of superconductivity. The subject area is at the forefront of efforts to reduce use of fossil fuels, improve healthcare and develop novel quantum technologies.
CDP in Nuclear Threat Reduction (NTR)
The School of Physics works closely with NTR-Net to provide opportunities for postgraduate funding for PhD project proposals. This will provide the opportunity for students to partake in the CDP training and education programme, and for students to become involved in NTR-Net technical workshops and meetings.
