Programme structure 

Our Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) offers a four year training programme where students will carry out a PhD in the intersection of AI and music, supported by taught specialist modules, industrial placements, and skills training. Find out more about the programme structure at: http://www.aim.qmul.ac.uk/about/

Who can apply?
We are on the lookout for the best and brightest students interested in the intersection of music/audio technology and AI.

Successful applicants will have the following profile:

  • Hold or be completing a Masters degree at distinction or first class level, or equivalent, in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Music/Audio Technology, Physics, Mathematics, or Psychology.
  • Programming skills are strongly desirable; however we do not consider this to be an essential criterion if candidates have complementary strengths.
  • Formal music training is desirable, but not a prerequisite.

For this round of applications we are offering a number of scholarships to applicants who are ordinarily resident in the UK (i.e. have lived and studied/worked in the UK at least the last three years) and a smaller number of scholarships to international students.

Funding
We have 12 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships available for students starting in September 2019 which will cover the cost of tuition fees and will provide an annual tax-free stipend of £17,009.

The CDT will also provide funding for conference travel, equipment, and for attending other CDT-related events.
