Doctoral Training Schemes
We are part of the following Doctoral Training Centre.
Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computation
The Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computation (MAC-MIGS) Centre for Doctoral Training is offering around 15 studentships PhD students an intensive 4-year training and research programme that equips them with the skills needed to tackle the challenges of data-intensive modelling.
Strong applicants with interests relevant to all areas of mathematical modelling, analysis and computing, as well as students whose first degree is in other fields of science and engineering, are encouraged to apply.
MAC-MIGS is a PhD programme run jointly by the universities of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt, as part of the Maxwell Institute Graduate School. MAC-MIGS projects are focussed on the formulation, analysis and implementation of state-of-the-art mathematical and computational models and methods. The Centre aims to train modelling experts who can develop and analyse mathematical models, translate them into efficient computer codes, and communicate the solutions with industry and government. MAC-MIGS will be based in new Bayes Centre on the University of Edinburgh's central campus, the heart of the £1B Edinburgh City Deal.

Quantum Informatics CDT
The new Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Informatics will provide advanced training in the structure, behaviour and interaction of quantum hardware, software, and applications. The training programme spans computer sciences, mathematics, physics and engineering. The programme offers a fully funded intensive 4year PhD with integrated study programme that equips students with the skills need to tackle the research challenges of quantum informatics. The programme includes bespoke training by the National Quantum Computing Centre, the opportunity to work with over 30 industry partners Graduate will be able to integrate quantum hardware with high-performance computing, design effective quantum software and apply this in a societally meaningful way.
