The Energy Programme provides focused support for postgraduate training through a number of Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs), with the goal of securing the future supply of world-leading energy researchers.
What is a Doctoral training Partnership?
Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTP) are block grant awards made to either individual ROs, or consortia of ROs. They support postgraduate studentships across the breadth of AHRC’s subject remit and complement the Centres for Doctoral Training. DTPs provide innovative training environments for doctoral-level research.
Is doctoral training a PhD?
Doctoral Training Centres (DTCs; also called Centres for Doctoral Training or Doctoral Training Partnerships) are centres for managing the Research Council-funded PhD degrees in the United Kingdom. Each Centre targets a specific area of research, and also emphasises transferable skills training.
Is a CDT the same as a PhD?
A CDT is intended to specifically train PhD students, unlike universities which have additional aims. So, CDT-trained students should receive high-quality training in practical skills as well as acquiring academic knowledge and confidence for their future career.

What is DTP UK?
Investments in doctoral training are a key component of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council’s (UKRI-BBSRC) overarching goals to develop research talent and skills.
Are CDTs competitive?
All CDT studentships provide generous funding and training. As result, they are very competitive. Studentships are only awarded to the best applicant with strong applications. Find out more about applying for a Research Council studentship.
What is CDT program?
