QUADRAT

QUADRAT

QUADRAT (Queen's University Belfast & Aberdeen Doctoral Research and Training) brings together research and teaching centres of excellence in biological sciences and geosciences from the University of Aberdeen and Queen's University Belfast and a broad network of collaborative partners to provide a transformative platform for PhD Research and training.

Funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), with support from several partner organisations, QUADRAT DTP provides outstanding UK/EU students with unrivalled opportunities to gain the skills and holistic understanding essential for the next generation of scientific leaders in academic, industry and policy development due to the unique geographic positions, unprecedented research and training infrastructure and strategic alliances of the two academic partners.

Each year, we award 20 full studentships to exceptional students, providing funding to support Doctoral studies for PhD programmes for 42 months. Our themes of Biodiversity, Earth Systems and Environmental Management allow for an integration of both theoretical and applied projects capable of addressing the most significant environmental and societal challenges we face now and in the future.
