EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) - Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology

The EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership enables the University of Cambridge to develop future leaders by funding doctoral training across a wide range of Engineering and Physical Science research areas. The research in which doctoral students are involved includes discovery-led projects in new and innovative areas, as well as that which addresses strategically important established themes. Students are based within groups that are recognised as delivering internationally excellent and world leading outputs. In order to deliver impact, there is also significant focus on creating links with industrial partners. In addition to the skills gained during the PhD research, students also undertake a Researcher Development programme, with courses and activities tailored to their needs and selected from a wide range of provision. This equips those completing their doctoral programmes to develop the broad skill set which will make them well-placed to develop into future leaders across a range of careers in the academic, industrial and public sectors. The DTP also funds a Doctoral Fellowship (subject to funding), allowing selected students to progress to a research associate post at the end of their doctoral studies, enabling them to move high quality work to publication or to transfer technologies.
