Overview
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Civil Engineering at Imperial provides a different type of doctoral training experience to a conventional PhD. CDTs aim to train future leaders for industry and research and therefore the CDT experience needs to deliver more than conventional doctoral training. While the CDT experience retains the depth, rigour and focus of a conventional PhD it also provides a broader training experience.
We need to train people to be very effective at working in teams, who can talk confidently across disciplines and who can appreciate how their individual research relates to a major civil engineering project and sustainable civil engineering. This broader training is delivered through a taught component, through group Grand Challenge projects and through a range of other cohort building activities both within the CDT and beyond. Our aim is to make the Imperial CDT a world-leading doctoral training experience.
Six Key Themes
- 1. Uncertainty associated with future change
- 2. Whole life cycle
- 3. Delivering maximum value from existing infrastructure
- 4. Multiple use infrastructure
- 5. Developing the circular economy
- 6. Low-carbon construction
