DTP 2018-19 University College London

研究型学生是UCL研究界的中坚力量，也是对未来学术界和产业界研究领袖的投资，目前UCL超过50%的学生都在攻读研究生水平。在工程、数学和物理学院以及巴特利特建筑环境学院，2016/17学年有1,980名学生在攻读研究学位。我们的博士社区通过EPSRC资助的17个博士生培训中心得到加强，这些中心由伦敦大学学院主办或与之合作，补充了我们的博士培训伙伴关系(DTP)分配。我们DTP的总体战略是公平、透明地招聘最优秀的候选人，为他们提供世界级的监督、支持和培训机会，支持他们的职业发展，提供从他们的工作中产生影响的机会，并创造一个具有挑战性和激励性的环境，让他们充分接触到研究和合作机会。我们的DTP条款所涉及的主题领域的范围和多样性是独一无二的，从数学、物理和天文学的概念性理论，到复杂的机械、数字和环境工程，再到对我们周围实际建筑环境的分析和设计。这些学科领域涵盖的范围和相互之间的联系有助于产生不仅对英国，而且对全球都具有明显的社会和经济利益的博士研究。我们灵活地使用我们的DTP来支持：a)4年，全额资助的学生奖学金，为优秀的候选人提供全面的培训和研究机会；b)通过DTP案例转换奖学金，与业界合作；c)通过博士奖学金，使优秀的博士后毕业生能够发展他们自己的独立性；d)通过假期奖学金计划，有才华和有前途的本科生从事暑期研究项目；e)通过DTP，在国际博士奖学金灵活配额下保留优秀的国际学生。我们的目标是每年提供60-80个学生名额，以及9-10个博士奖学金和最多40个假期奖学金。我们将超过10%的奖项作为案例转换，以反映我们对合作的承诺以及我们与行业的密切关系。按照10%的配额，我们每年提供C.16国际博士奖学金。DTP奖分布在STEM学科领域的各个领域，每年由各部门发布广告，不同的截止日期跨越整个学年。我们所有的博士生都是伦敦大学学院博士生学院的成员，该学院提供高质量的培训和资源。博士技能课程为学生提供全面的可转移技能培训，包括研究道德、公众参与、外展和影响力，以及参加硕士水平单元、CPD培训和外部课程的机会。我们对跨学科研究的关注使各系或院系之间能够分享学生的机会，并有助于在内部和外部建立牢固的合作关系。我们的研究组合大致围绕着伦敦大学学院的重大挑战、政府的八大技术以及研究委员会的优先事项而形成。机构层面的博士培养战略委员会全面负责作为伦敦大学学院进行的所有博士培训。DTP由博士培训治理委员会监督，博士培训经理负责日常监督。学院和院系根据其战略优先事项和增长领域来分配奖项。这一过程既是自下而上的，也是自上而下的，确保了全面的覆盖面和灵活性。

Research students are the backbone of UCL's research community, and an investment into the future research leaders in both academia and industry, with over 50% of UCL's current student population studying at postgraduate level. Within the Faculties of Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment there were 1,980 students in the 2016/17 academic year studying on research degrees. Our doctoral community is strengthened through the 17 EPSRC-funded Centres for Doctoral Training that UCL hosts, or is in partnership with, which complements our Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) allocation. Our overarching strategy for our DTP is to fairly, and transparently recruit the best candidates, to provide them with world class supervision, support, and training opportunities, to support their career development, opportunities to generate impact from their work, and create a challenging and stimulating environment which fully exposes them to the world of research and collaboration opportunities. The range and diversity of subject areas addressed by our DTP provision is unique in spanning from the conceptual theories of mathematics, physics and astronomy, to complex strands of mechanical, digital and environmental engineering, to the analysis and design of the actual built environment that surrounds us. The spectrum covered by, and the interconnections between, these subject areas help to produce doctoral research that is of demonstrable social and economic benefit not only to Britain, but also globally. We use our DTP flexibly to support: a) 4 year, fully-funded studentships to offer outstanding candidates comprehensive training and research opportunities b) Collaboration with industry through the DTP CASE Conversion studentships c) 2 year postdoctoral fellowships, through the Doctoral Prize to enable excellent graduates to develop their own independence d) Talented and promising undergraduate students to undertake summer research projects through the Vacation Bursaries scheme e) The retention of excellent international students under the International Doctoral Scholar flexibility quota Through the DTP we aim to offer 60-80 studentships per year, along with 9-10 Doctoral Prize Fellowships and up to 40 Vacation Bursaries. We allocate over 10% of awards as Case Conversion to reflect our commitment to collaboration and our close relationship with industry. In line with the 10% quota we offer c.16 International Doctoral Scholar awards annually. DTP awards are distributed across the breadth of the STEM subject areas and are advertised each year by departments, with various deadlines which span the academic year. All our doctoral students are members of the UCL Doctoral School, which provides high quality training and resources. The Doctoral Skills programme provides the students with a comprehensive range of transferable skills training, including research ethics, public engagement, outreach, and impact, in addition to opportunities to attend masters level modules, CPD training and external courses. Our focus on interdisciplinary research enables studentships to be shared between departments or faculties and contributes to the forging of strong collaborative relationships both internally and externally. Our Research portfolio is broadly shaped around the UCL Grand Challenges, the Government's Eight Great Technologies, and the priorities of the Research Councils. The Institutional level Doctoral Training Strategy Committee has overall responsibility for all the doctoral training undertaken as UCL. The DTP is overseen by the Doctoral Training Governance Board, with the Doctoral Training Manager having day-to-day oversight. Faculties and Departments allocate awards in line with their strategic priorities and areas for growth. This process is both bottom-up and top-down which ensures comprehensive coverage and flexibility.
