EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies addresses the national need to train cohorts of future quantum scientists and engineers for this emerging industry.

The training program is a partnership between the University of Strathclyde, the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University, in collaboration with more than 30 UK industry partners. The Centre will support 5 cohorts of students starting in 2025.

It is part of the TechFirst Doctoral Support pilot offering enhanced stipends of £30,000 per year to eligible students starting in 2027.
