Study Here
Data Intensive Science encompasses a wide range of areas in the field of 'big-data', including the collection, storage and analysis of large datasets, as well as the use of complex models, algorithms and machine learning techniques to interpret the data.
The CDT's vision is to provide a unique studentship experience that will produce highly trained and employable PhD graduates with advanced and widely applicable skills in DIS, who will ultimately become the future leaders of this field in both academia and industry. In addition, by bringing together DIS experts from a range of sectors and fields, it will promote the development of new DIS techniques or the application of existing techniques to new areas, which will have a wide and significant impact on all sectors.
Applications deadlines:
Applications for September 2024 intake is now open, with at least eight fully funded studentships available. The application deadline is 31st January 2024, with interviews taking place towards the end of February 2024. While we may accept an application after the deadline, we can not guarantee you will get an interview if your application is late. We will have full studentship opportunities (tuition fees and a maintenance stipend, i.e. subsistence allowance) available for home, and international students, so we encourage all interested students to apply regardless of their residency status. International students must submit their applications by 5th January 2024 if they want to be considered for all studentship possibilities.
We organised a CDT DIS Open Day at UCL on Wednesday 29th November 2023. Recording from the session is available via this link - Open Day Recording.

How the Data Intensive Science CDT differs from a traditional PhD and what our students can expect
Current students already work on projects in many of the world’s leading HEP experiments...
The UCL Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data Intensive Science (DIS) is STFC's first-ever supported CDT. The Centre was established in 2017 and carries out research primarily in STFC's flagship DIS projects in Particle Physics and Astronomy, which have been at the forefront of DIS research for several decades and provide the ideal training ground for DIS for PhD students in this space.
