Postgraduate Study

I feel honoured and grateful to be part of an open-minded and interdisciplinary community. I have the opportunity to work with inspiring people on a daily basis and I feel supported in building a strong collaboration network of motivated and driven researchers with the same goals. Our CDT provides a multi-faceted enrichment for our future careers in terms of researcher development, mentorship, communication and growth.

Jana Skirnewskaja, (Apr. 5, 2022)

The CDT is unique and the most important academic experience I have ever had. From the start, you are part of two phenomenal and world-class universities and the knowledge you gain by solely being surrounded by this network is invaluable. It really is a privilege to be part of this community and the skills you gain will stay with you for years to come.
