Location of University of Leeds
The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Molecular-Scale Engineering brings together internationally-leading researchers at the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield to train high calibre science and engineering graduates in the control of molecular organization and function at the nanometre scale.
Our Centre is dedicated to training doctoral scientists in new technologies for molecular scale engineering. It provides a carefully structured programme of taught, cross-disciplinary training, with hands-on access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, and the opportunity to pursue doctoral training with world-class academics working at the forefront of molecular scale engineering. A bespoke programme of cohort-building activities together with transferable skills and personal development has also been designed to complement the scientific and engineering training.
Contents
A PhD is the highest academic degree that can be studied for in the UK. It is defined primarily as a new contribution to knowledge in a specific subject. The award of a PhD requires a student to discover, interpret and communicate new knowledge through original research and scholarship of publishable quality, and to present and defend research outcomes which extend the forefront of a discipline.
This means, in effect, that upon completion of a PhD, you are likely to know more about your research topic than anyone else in the world, including your supervisor.
A PhD at Leeds is, however, a lot more. It provides a training in research skills and techniques, critical thinking, the research environment, research management, personal effectiveness, communication skills, networking, teamworking, and career management. Through the combination of personal study, team-working, the support of supervisors, involvement in conferences and seminars, and the wide range of skills training offered, a research degree is far broader than a technical qualification.
This is why a PhD is such a strong and widely-acknowledged grounding for careers not only in research, science and higher education, but also in the wider world in both the public and private sectors.
