COHORT TRAINING
Comprehensive cohort training programme in all aspects of synthetic chemistry. Students are admitted to the programme and not a specific research group.
INDUSTRIAL INPUT
Designed with and supported by major international pharmaceutical & agrochemical companies, each offering specific expertise to enhance the CDT's training.
PROJECT FIELDS
Research Projects are clustered in four Project Fields to enable multiple researchers to approach substantial problems that are too challenging for a single doctoral student.
OUR STUDENTS SHARE THEIR STORIES
OPEN-ACCESS
We have an open-access policy in what we teach and what we do, to ensure free exchange of information and expertise between all partners and the overall research community.
Free Exchange of Information
Scientists on the SBM CDT programme will not file for patent protection on any of their research outputs but will make them freely available.
Course Material
The SBM CDT course material is available to download for free, as a useful resource for graduate students and the overall teaching and research community.
