With a range of outputs spanning research publications, presentations at relevant conferences, the PhD will provide you the grounding for your future success as a convergence scientist. 

3. Convergence Science Centre Bespoke Training programme  

The scientific landscape is constantly evolving, with disciplines merging into novel entities. To navigate interdisciplinary research, our students are required to develop flexibility by learning to integrate diverse skill sets. To support them, we've designed a training programme aimed at developing skills required to work across the boundaries of different disciplines.  

• a fixed, tax-free annual stipend of £23,000 per annum and project costs including tuition fees at the Home rate 
• Research Training and Support Grant to cover travel, conference participation, academic placements and consumables as allowed under the terms and conditions of CRUK and EPSRC. 

Students enrolled on the programme will be provided with bespoke training to develop the skills required to work across the boundaries of different disciplines.
