What are the benefits of the four year PhD course?
The EPSRC’s aims for the four-year programmes that they launched in 2009 is that they represent the state of the art in doctoral training. The first year allows you time to explore possible research topics and to learn valuable skills – in a regular PhD there is much less time to devote to this. Throughout the programme there are opportunities to engage with industry, to develop important transferable skills (such as how to interact with the media) and to take part in cohort-wide activities such as an annual Summer Student Conference.
