Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who can apply for this studentship?
Applicants should have (or expect) a high 2:1 or First Class Honors degree (or equivalent), ideally with a master’s, in engineering, physical sciences, or related disciplines.
What does “generic” application mean?
Instead of applying to an advertised project, you submit a research proposal showing how your interests align with the FIBE3 themes. The CDT then tries to match you with a supervisor, industry partner, and suitable project.
What funding is provided?
The studentship offers full funding (fees + stipend) for eligible candidates. Initially it’s available to UK home fee status students, and a limited number of international students may be considered later in the process, potentially with additional support for international fee differences.
Is the funding guaranteed if I apply?
Funding is competitive, eligible applicants are considered for fully-funded studentship places, but not all applicants receive funding. International students face especially limited funded slots.
Does the program include industry collaboration?
: Yes, the CDT closely links research with industry partners, and your project may be co-designed or co-supervised with an industry collaborator.
