Why to Study with us?
The UCL CDT in DIS was the first of its kind for such a programme to be established nationally and internationally, and in a recent competition for funding renewal from STFC, it was again top-ranked.
The Centre provides a unique blend of training in cutting-edge DIS techniques and their application in some of the world's highest-profile international research projects in fundamental science, as well as in real-world challenges faced by society and our industry partners.
