The Doctoral Training Centres (DTCs) receive funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) providing opportunities for students to undertake a PhD or EngD, with specialised training and support for the cohort.  The CDTs are often a collaboration between several universities.

Some of the physics-related Doctoral Training Centres in Scotland include:

SUPA promotes communication and collaboration among physicists in Scotland. Collectively, SUPA forms the largest cluster of physics researchers in the UK.

 The Graduate School (GS) has around 600 PhD students. Over 50 courses, corresponding to over 800 hours of lectures, are delivered annually. 

Organisational Structure

SUPA is governed by a Board of Directors (BoD) at Vice-Principal level and receives guidance from an International Advisory Committee (IAC).
