Our research community
I've really enjoyed my time as part of the doctoral training programme with the CMRI. Particularly the cohort training and supportive atmosphere throughout. I've been lucky enough to attend a number of conferences and have had lots of opportunity to network and engage with the wider physics community. The centre were also very supportive of my outreach interests and sponsored a number of events disseminating our research to the public including into schools. The centre provided a diverse and interesting programme in addition to the core scientific training, which I've found has really benefited me in progressing my career afterwards.

Our doctoral training programme
The doctoral training at the Centre for Metamaterial Research and Innovation supports all our Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) on the programme in developing their scientific knowledge whilst also providing transferrable and technical skills training to prepare them for careers within and outside of academia.
The PGRs gain scientific background knowledge beyond their areas of expertise and transferable professional skills such as project management, entrepreneurship and professional presentation skills in a cohort-based collaborative environment as part of a forward-thinking, community of academic, industrial and governmental partners harnessing research excellence.
