You will have access to university computational facilities as well as a laptop. You may also have opportunities to access EIT resources and are encouraged to work closely with EIT research teams with possibilities to spend time on site at their hubs. When you move out to your department you will also have access to the facilities provided by that department. You will remain a member of the CDT and would be able to return to the MPLS Doctoral Training Centre (MPLS DTC), on Keble Road, to use the facilities there.
EIT's AI researchers will be contributing towards the individually-tailored training in advanced AI techniques and software development as part of the CDT's wider training efforts. EIT researchers are engaged in internationally leading scientific research projects underpinned by cutting edge development of AI and machine learning techniques which will engage, educate and support students in their learning.
You will have access to seminars in departments across the MPLS and MSD Divisions as well as across the wider university. In addition to the training modules offered by the CDT, you will be able to sign up for a wide range of training courses and modules offered by departments across the university via the University's Researcher Training Tool.
In the event of the need for pastoral care, support is available from your college, from the project supervisor, the MPLS DTC, and the CDT management team.
As a graduate student, you will have access to the University's wide range of world-class resources (www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/student-life/why-study-at-oxford) including libraries, museums, galleries, digital resources and IT services. The Bodleian Libraries is the largest library system in the UK. It includes the main Bodleian Library and libraries across Oxford, including major research libraries and faculty, department and institute libraries. Together, the Libraries hold more than 13 million printed items, provide access to e-journals, and contain outstanding special collections including rare books and manuscripts, classical papyri, maps, music, art and printed ephemera.
The University's IT Services is available to all students to support with core university IT systems and tools, as well as many other services and facilities. IT Services also offers a range of IT learning courses for students, to support with learning and research.
You will also have access to Oxford's wide library network, including the recently refurbished Radcliffe Science Library.
EIT Leadership and Innovation Programming Training
Students in the CDT will also have access to EIT leadership and innovation training to support them through to graduation and beyond. With a core focus on skills building, this programming is designed to develop leadership in the context of science and technology. The programme encourages students to think critically about their role as future scientific leaders and innovators.
Through a combination of expert talks, practical workshops, and peer discussions, students will have the opportunity to learn directly from leading entrepreneurs and innovators representing a diverse range of sectors.
