PhD in Engineering Doctorate/ Professional Doctorate in Digital Media

The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) at the Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE) is a collaboration between the University of Bath and Bournemouth University. It offers the opportunity to conduct research in an industrial context. Industrial collaborators come from the fields of computer games, VFX, image processing, graphics and animation. The program lasts 4 years, of which 3 will be spent in a company engaged on research projects, one on Masters level courses.

PhD in Optics & Photonics

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

The 3-year PhD programme comprises the research project leading to a Ph.D. thesis as well as additional compulsory modules, work-groups and optional lecture courses, all of which offer a highly challenging, useful and interesting education programme.

PhD in Physics

University of Kent, Canterbury Campus

When you apply, please give specific indications of your research interest – including, where appropriate, the member(s) of staff you wish to work with – and whether you are applying for a studentship or propose to be self-funded.

PhD in Astronomy Doctoral Programme

University of Porto

The main objective of this 3rd Cycle of Studies in Astronomy, offered by the Physics and Astronomy Department - Faculty of Sciences, is to train future astronomers and researchers. The Program is open to high quality Portuguese and foreign students.

PhD in International Research Training Group: Schizophrenia and Autism (IRTG 1328)

RWTH Aachen University

The International Research Training Group “Brain-behavior relationship of emotion and social cognition in schizophrenia and autism” (IRTG 1328) is formed by German and American scientists of the RWTH Aachen University with the University Hospital Aachen, the Research Center Jülich (all within the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance, JARA) and the University of Pennsylvania and is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; DFG). The major aims of the German-American IRTG are interdisciplinary and international scientific co-operation and the support of young scientists with aspiration to cutting-edge research in neuroscience.
