EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Skills And Training Underpinning a Renaissance in Nuclear

Discover the Centre

Take your place in the next generation of nuclear experts by joining our EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Skills And Training Underpinning a Renaissance in Nuclear (SATURN).

This collaborative CDT involving the Universities of Manchester, Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield and Strathclyde will work towards building the skills base needed to support the UK’s net zero targets.

Industry partnerships

Collaborate with our diverse network of leading academics, bridging the gap between academia and real-world applications.

 

The primary aim of SATURN CDT is to provide high quality research training in science and engineering, underpinning nuclear fission technology. As nuclear will continue to be a vital part of our energy mix, and with the nuclear sector facing a skills crisis, this CDT will create a highly trained pool of postgraduate researchers ready to take on real industry challenges.
