CDT Condensed Matter Physics

Based at the Universities of Bristol and Bath, our Centre for Doctoral Training trains students across a broad range hard condensed matter physics, encompassing experiment, theory, fundamental physics and device applications. We also emphasise strong engagement with industrial, academic and large facility partners.

Up to 2018, students were directly recruited into our CDT-CMP Programme. From 2019, new PhD students enrolled in Programmes at Bath and Bristol will be able to benefit from the training developed by CDT-CMP through CMP-PhD+ (see below).  

Our CDT structure also emphasises strong engagement with industrial, academic and large facility partners as well as training in key transferable skills and public engagement.

Our vision is to expose students to the most exciting research topics in condensed matter physics, break down traditional boundaries between disciplines and produce graduates who are able to mix theory with experiment, embed state-of-the-art measurement or computational science in their research and exploit fundamental physics in applications.

CDT-CMP Lite

In October 2019 we will launch “CDT-CMP Lite” which draws on training material developed for our CDT-CMP PhD Programme.  Students registered on PhD Physics programmes at Bath and Bristol will be trained in a highly supportive cohort-based environment, undertaking activities together with work on their individual PhD projects.

The training programme will include taught postgraduate lectures, hands-on theoretical/experimental techniques training and a regular Journal Club.

Students interested in participating in CDT-CMP Lite can apply directly to study on Bath PhD or Bristol PhD programmes.
