The CDT training is split into several phases, Year 1 includes:
Core Training, which will equip the students with the underpinning mathematical modelling, scientific computing and research skills necessary to undertake research at the interface with industry
Industrial Enrichment Programme 1, where students will interact with a large number of our partner companies to understand the grand challenges facing numerous sectors, alongside developing their teamworking, communication and project management skills
Specialist training, in which students will deepen their knowledge in a particular topic while undertaking modelling and computing case studies.

Alongside the training phases, students will also undertake skills training courses.
Years 2-4 include:
Research Project, students undertake a research project throughout years 2-4, during which each student will work on a particular mathematical problem addressing a company challenge.
Industrial Enrichment Programme 2, in years 2-4 students can attend any of the IEP2 courses they missed in year one. Students will also attend a Study Group with Industry each year.
