Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Engineering

Fully funded four year PhD studentships commencing in September 2020 are available for exceptional graduates with a background in mathematics, engineering, computer science and the physical sciences.

Through world-leading academic research, as well as partnering with some of industry's most important players, the Quantum Engineering CDT in Bristol has led the world in developing an environment that delivers an unparalleled training and development experience. Underpinned by this world-class expertise, this four-year doctoral programme offers a unique experience for those seeking academic excellence and a route into the emerging quantum technologies industry. As a quantum engineer, you will be trained at the intersection of physics, engineering, mathematics and computer science, as well as in skills such as outreach and entrepreneurship, before embarking on a PhD research programme that you can help design yourself.

Highlights include:

Guided and self-inspired research with a broad range of PhD research projects
Practical application as well as a sound theoretical understanding of quantum physics
Complementary skills – such as commercialisation and science communication - necessary for academic and industrial excellence
Access to an international network of world-class academic and industrial collaborators
Support for academic and industrial secondments
Opportunity to attend international and national conferences
A cohort approach to learning, enabling students to learn from each other in a rapidly evolving field
Access to a broad technology base and state-of-the-art facilities
International trip to visit Industry partners

Whether you're an engineer with an interest in quantum computing, a physicist with a passion for practical technologies or a mathematician with an aptitude for experimental work, this programme is the next step to a successful career in quantum technologies.

Entry Requirements

Candidate requirements: We are seeking bright, ambitious candidates who show enthusiasm to achieve impact in the “quantum 2.0” arena with an aptitude for conceptual thinking and problem solving. Candidates must achieve a minimum degree classification of 2.1 (or equivalent) for entry onto the programme.

Course Fees

Full time: UK/EU £4,300, Overseas £21,700 pa (rates for 20/21 to be announced).

Funding for 2020 and application deadlines

10 fully funded studentships covering tuition fees, a stipend for living costs and a substantial travel budget are available to UK/EU students. The deadline for applications is 28/02/20.

There is very limited funding available for International students. We welcome applications from self-funded international candidates and you can find about international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website:
