IMAT students undertake a 42-month substantive research project in their chosen area of expertise (raw materials, process, product). Projects available for the 2026 cohort will be listed below when admissions open in September, along with a summary of the project, some relevant background reading, and the contact details of the supervisory team. CDT applicants are encouraged to read through the available projects and list their three preferred projects in order of preference in their application form. Further details on the research projects are available through direct contact with the supervisors or on application.
