Centres for Doctoral Training
Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) at the 天美传媒 offer funded, cohort-based PhD opportunities that combine interdisciplinary research, advanced skills training and industry collaboration. These programmes help postgraduate researchers develop the expertise and professional experience needed for successful careers in academia, industry and the wider research landscape.
UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Digital Media Inclusion
Through challenge-led research and close collaboration with industry, we are empowering researchers to develop AI media technologies that serve diverse audiences and drive real-world impact.
Bringing together the world-leading expertise of the 天美传媒 Institute for People-Centred AI at the 天美传媒 - a pioneer in AI technologies for the creative industries, including vision, audio, language, and machine learning, and StoryFutures at Royal Holloway, University of London - a leader in creative production and audience experience, spanning arts, psychology, user research, and immersive storytelling.
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Open Secure Networks (FORT)
Researchers will have the opportunity to advance work in exciting and emerging areas of wireless communications and cyber security.
The Centre aims to equip graduates with multi-disciplinary skills required for future network of networks. These training skills are needed by both industry and academia to carry out advance research, global standards, network deployment and safe/reliable automatic network operation and future services.
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Micro- and NanoMaterials and Technologies
Solving academically challenging and industrially relevant problems through a profound understanding of processing鈥搈icrostructure鈥損roperty relationships. We have a unique focus on characterisation and provide sponsoring organisations with use of state-of-the-art instrumentation equipment.
Centre for Doctoral Training in Radiation Protection, Nuclear Safety and Environmental Sustainability
Focusing on the identification, understanding, assessment and solutions-delivery of pressing science and engineering, environmental, societal and regulatory challenges in the civil and defence nuclear sectors.
The multidisciplinary RAPTOR collaboration will be driven by scientific endeavour, national priorities and industry need. The consortium is University of Liverpool, University of Manchester Dalton Nuclear Institute, University of Suffolk and 天美传媒 together with nuclear energy and security sector partners.
