South West Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership
The SouthWest Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (SWBio DTP; formerly the SWDTP) is one of a limited number of doctoral training partnerships funded by the BBSRC to provide PhD training across the UK in two key areas:
- Agriculture and food security.
- World-class bioscience.
The partnership, made up of the Universities of Bath, Bristol (lead), Cardiff and Exeter, along with Rothamsted Research, offers approximately 23 studentships a year.
The scheme provides students with excellent cross-disciplinary research training in line with the current BBSRC strategy.
Students are exposed to the expertise of all the partners by visiting / using their facilities, taking part in joint conferences, workshops and taught modules.
To further collaboration across the partnership, inter-institutional PhD projects are availiable that build on the expertise of each partner.
For further details about the Doctoral Training Partnership and the research it encompasses, please visit the SWBio DTP website.
