We train the next generation of Nottingham bioscientists from the city’s two universities and have secured £14 million funding from UK Research and Innovation. (UKRI- BBSRC)
The Nottingham Doctoral Training Partnership has been running since 2012 and has trained over 650 PhD students who have gone on to leading roles in academia, industry, science communication and policy in the UK and internationally. Our programme supports innovative PhD training in biological sciences.
The Nottingham DLA Partnership provides cohort-based training in frontier science across priority areas focussed upon three overarching themes: Sustainable Agriculture and Food (SAF), Bioscience for Human Health (BHH) and Biotechnology for Sustainable Growth (BSG).
Alongside scientific PhD training and research, the programme provides a breadth of professional development training opportunities to enhance the capabilities of doctoral candidates and develop a world-class, highly skilled workforce the UK needs for its future. During the training each student undertakes a three-month Professional Internship for PhD Students (PIPS) placement to develop their skills and to explore possible future career directions.
The Nottingham BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership is led by the University of Nottingham in partnership with Nottingham Trent University and the National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), and offers fully funded, four-year PhD studentships that are aligned to strategic priorities supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
