The University of Sussex, in partnership with the University of Bristol, has launched the new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Information Science and Technologies (QIST) funded via the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). This programme provides unique cross-disciplinary training in experimental and theoretical quantum information and quantum technologies, and specialised training in entrepreneurship, project management, collaborative working, responsible research and innovation (RRI), science policy, and communication skills.
Whether you're an engineer with an interest in quantum computing, a physicist with a passion for practical technologies or a mathematician with an aptitude for experimental work, this programme is the next step to a successful career in quantum technologies.
Our EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Information Science and Technologies (QIST) welcomes candidates with backgrounds in mathematics, engineering, computer science, chemistry or the physical sciences.
This programme is the next step to a successful career in quantum technologies, whether you are:
a computer scientist with interest in developing quantum algorithms
a chemist intrigued by the modelling power of quantum simulators
a mathematician with a passion for quantum computing
a physicist excited to implement practical technologies
an engineer inspired to deploy a quantum-enabled communications network
Applicants should have at least an upper-second class undergraduate degree in a relevant subject such as Physics, Mathematics or Engineering (or equivalent qualification).
Scholarships are available for both UK and International candidates. Candidates for whom English is not their first language will require an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with not less than 6.0 in any section - English language requirements
Applications are particularly welcomed from candidates with protected characteristics – e.g., from Black and other ethnic minorities and individuals with disabilities who are under-represented in postgraduate research at our institution. Please do draw our attention to any of the above in your application.
We offer 4-year fully funded PhD studentships which includes tuition fees, stipends (tax free) and a generous research budget. Stipend rates will differ for home and international students, with international students receiving the standard UKRI rate (for the 2025/26 academic year, this is currently £21,780).
Home students starting their studies in September 2026 will receive the standard UKRI rate, plus the UK Government’s TechExpert Pilot funding, expected to be an additional £10,000 per year. The pilot is only expected to run for one intake of students and more details will be confirmed in December.
