EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Functional Industrial Coatings
COATED M2A Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Functional Industrial Coatings at Swansea University: Funded doctoral training in collaboration with industrial partners to deliver research excellence with great opportunities.
LEADING INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH THROUGH FUNDED POSTGRADUATE COLLABORATIONS
"the opportunities I have been given throughout this scheme are unrivalled, far superior to the opportunities I would have had within the same 4 years in industry. I’ve managed to find new friends, expand my knowledge far beyond my expectations, work with the most amazing team of people, gain the highest academic qualification within the field of Engineering and get paid for the privilege! This sounds too good to be true but honestly it has been life changing”
- John, Research Engineer
“The research community fostered by being part of a large cohort of research engineers meant I felt supported by a group of similar peers, even when taking on something as potentially daunting as a doctorate.”
- Dan, Research Engineer
“The industry supported nature of the EngD has helped me develop lasting connections with my sponsor company, a top ten global steel producer”
