DTP 2020-2021 Imperial College London

帝国理工学院是一所全球性的研究驱动型大学，鼓励无国界的发现和创新。我们的使命是在研究和教育、科学、工程、医学和商业领域实现持久的卓越，以造福社会；我们应对未来全球挑战的战略是围绕四个主题进行研究：发现和自然世界；设计新的解决方案；健康和福祉；以及引领数据革命。我们在学术部门实践的核心学科方面的实力在2014年卓越研究框架中得到了展示，其中帝国理工学院提交的90%以上的研究被评为世界领先或国际优秀。结合我们对多学科、协作的重视，以及我们研究生院提供的广泛支持和基础设施，这提供了一个良好的博士培训环境。除了在获得高水平的研究技能方面得到支持外，我们的学生还获得了各种各样的机会来利用我们世界级的研究能力，成为他们所选择的领域的领导者。我们大约66%的研究生在帝国理工学院的核心学科EPS工作。我们将我们的EPSRC DTP资金投资于支持卓越(见总统博士奖学金计划http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/fees-and-funding/scholarships/presidents-phd-scholarships/)，支持早期职业研究人员(见博士奖奖学金计划http://www.imperial.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/research-office/funder-information/funding-opportunities/internal-funding-opportunities/)和支持以研究为导向的教育(见http://www.imperial.ac.uk/urop).然而，EPSRC的大部分资源被用于提供所需的响应和灵活的支持，以支持我们的核心学科(特别是理论学科)或发展我们的博士培训中心职权范围之外的新兴领域。因此，灵活分配的DTP学生群体是我们研究基础的命脉--维持我们未来成功参与核心和跨学科有影响力的研究的能力。我们将提供所有学术EPS学科的学生名额，查看http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/和https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/prospectus/Our EPSRC资助的学生与当地、国内和国际其他大学的合作，如IPCC工作组。他们经常受益于通过非学术合作(如阿斯利康、空中客车、礼来、劳斯莱斯、斯伦贝谢、西门子和东芝)接触到行业和其他研究用户的专业知识、文化和基础设施。研究生院(http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/graduate-school/)通过提供量身定制的专业技能培训计划来丰富研究生的经验，增强影响并帮助确保个人抱负的实现。研究生院与学者、帝国理工学院的学生和研究生联合会合作，为学生提供在各种社交和学术活动中相遇的机会，促进跨学科知识交流，鼓励合作，并创建支持性的全球研究社区和同龄人团体。博士学位的申请全年通过我们的在线研究生研究申请表接受。强烈建议申请者在提出正式申请之前联系潜在的主管，并在他们希望开始博士课程的前一学年开始后不久这样做。学院的研究生开放日通常在每年12月举行。希望指导博士生的工作人员会得到部门运营经理、研究生研究部主任或同等职位的建议，了解当地的流程和资助条款和条件

Imperial is a global research-driven university that encourages discovery and innovation without boundaries. Guided by our mission of achieving enduring excellence in research and education, in science, engineering, medicine and business for the benefit of society; our strategy to contribute to the global challenges ahead is to focus our research around four themes: discovery and the natural world; engineering novel solutions; health and well-being; and leading the data revolution.Our strength in the core disciplines practiced by our academic Departments was demonstrated in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework in which over 90% of the research submitted by Imperial was judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent. Combined with our emphasis on multi-disciplinarity, collaboration and the extensive support and infrastructure provided by our Graduate School, this provides an excellent PhD training environment. In addition to being supported in the acquisition of high-level research skills, our students are provided with a wide diversity of opportunities to exploit our worldclass research capabilities to become leaders in their chosen field.Approximately 66% of our postgraduate research student population is working in EPS disciplines which are core to Imperial. We invest our EPSRC DTP funding in supporting Excellence (see President's PhD Scholarships Scheme http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/fees-and-funding/scholarships/presidents-phd-scholarships/), supporting Early Career Researchers (see Doctoral Prizes Fellowship Scheme http://www.imperial.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/research-office/funder-information/funding-opportunities/internal-funding-opportunities/) and to support research-led education (see http://www.imperial.ac.uk/urop). However the bulk of EPSRC resources is used to provide the responsive and flexible support needed for underpinning our core disciplines (particularly theoretical subjects) or for developing emerging areas outside the remit of our Centres for Doctoral Training. Thus the flexibly allocated DTP student cohort is the lifeblood of our research base-sustaining our future ability to engage successfully in core and cross-disciplinary impactful research.Studentships will be available in all our academic EPS disciplines, see http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/ and https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/prospectus/Our EPSRC-funded students collaborate with other Universities locally, nationally and internationally, such as the IPCC Working Group. They regularly benefit from exposure to expertise, culture and infrastructure within industry and other research users through non-academic collaborations (such as AstraZeneca, Airbus, Eli Lilly, Rolls Royce, Schlumberger, Siemens and Toshiba).The Graduate School (http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/graduate-school/) enriches the postgraduate student experience by delivering a tailored programme of professional skills training which enhances the impact and helps to ensure personal ambitions are realised. In partnership with academics, students across Imperial and the Graduate Students' Union, the Graduate School provides opportunities for students to meet each other at a variety of social and academic events, promoting interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, encouraging collaborations and creating supportive global research communities and peer groups.Applications for PhD places are accepted all year through our online postgraduate research application form. Applicants are strongly advised to contact potential supervisors before making a formal application and to do this soon after the start of the academic year prior to the year in which they wish to start a PhD programme. The College's Postgraduate Open Day is usually held in December each year.Staff who wish to supervise PhD students are advised on local processes and the grant terms and conditions by their Departmental Operations Manager, Director of Postgraduate Research or equivalents
