Multimillion pound investment in training tomorrow's bioscience research leaders

Multimillion pound investment for biosciences

The University of Nottingham is to share in a £67m investment in postgraduate training for future bioscientists to learn the skills required to meet economic and social challenges for the future.

The investment, from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), includes support for 14 Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) across the UK as well as a number of industrial studentship awards from the Centre for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

Professor Jerry Roberts, Dean of the Graduate School and Director of The University of Nottingham’s DTP, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded a BBSRC DTP in collaboration with Rothamsted Research. The University recognises the importance of providing PhD students with both a first class research environment and the opportunity to develop their employability skills. We believe that the training programme that we have designed will deliver bioscientists with the capacity to tackle problems of a global nature who will become the research leaders of tomorrow.”
