The London NERC Doctoral Training Partnership

Two term intensive training

Four Year Programme

The London NERC DTP has offered 36 fully funded PhD studentships this year.

Our aim is to attain new standards of excellence in environmental science research training and deliver a transformative inter-disciplinary experience for PhD students in the heart of London.

Our students will be trained by 9 of the world leading research centres, which cover a huge range of the environmental sciences from those driven by contemporary environmental challenges to those exploring complex questions about the evolution of planet Earth.

The London NERC DTP shares NERC’s ambition to provide world-class PhD training in environmental research across a broad range of fields. We provide a core element of training and student choice to enhance the doctoral experience and prepare students to become future leaders in their fields.

We have designed a multidisciplinary 4-year training programme to enthuse and engage and ensure that our students develop the core science skills needed to make optimal progress.

As well as our 9 Core academic partners the London NERC DTP is fully engaged with the business, industry, civil society and government through our Associate partner organizations. These currently include: Agip, Arcadis Ltd, Air Worldwide, AstraZeneca, Astrium, British Antarctic Survey, Broads Authority, BUCEFAS, BHP Billiton, CABI, CEFAS, CEH Wallingford, ChemTrust, DEFRA, Department of Health, Environment Agency, DMCii, FERA, Fluid Dynamics, Forestry Research, Geospatial Research, Glaxo, Highlands Birchwoods, Infoterra Ltd, Lloyds, Natural England, National Lobster Hatchery, Met Office, Microsoft International, MI Swaco, National Physics Laboratory, Permian Capital Ltd, Pfizer, Proudman Labs, Ove Arup, Quantemol, Rezatec, Risk Management Solutions, Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Trust, RSPB, Thames Estuary Partnership, Science Museum, Supraregional Assay Service, Surrey Satellites, South-West Water SAFHOS, Scottish Crop Research Institute, SERCON, STFC Laboratories, Thames Water, UHI, Willis Ltd, Water Research Centre, WCMC, WCS of Europe and the Zoological Society of London.

Our programme structure includes new teaching elements contributed by all Partners to span all the research themes. It will equip each student to conduct empirical and/or theoretical research, underpinned by rigorous numerical and statistical skills.

It is expected that each student will, of course, become expert in their chosen specific research field but you will also obtain additional key skills to maximise your future employability.

All students will therefore be enrolled on an intensive programme of interdisciplinary core research and professional development training in Term 1 with specialised pathway-oriented courses in Term 2, and PhD Workshops and Project Development, and further transferable skills and project-oriented training in Years 2, 3 and 4.
