Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing (EPSRC CDT)
About the course
The EPSRC CDT in Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing (IMAT) offers a four-year doctoral course focusing on the design, synthesis and characterisation of new inorganic materials and features integrated academic/industrial courses.
The IMAT CDT aims to train the next generation of doctoral scientists in the design, synthesis and characterisation of inorganic materials relevant to the future prosperity of the manufacturing sector. The course covers all aspects of the utilisation of raw materials, process chemistry and product delivery, and substantive projects spanning the breadth of inorganic chemistry and materials science.
The course has been designed in collaboration with 19 industrial partners representing a range of business sizes and technological expertise, in order to provide a holistic understanding of all aspects of the advanced materials manufacturing process.
The IMAT CDT uses a cohort-based training model, allied to training incorporating faculty, industry and peer-led components, to deliver scientists with:
- a broad spectrum training across the interface between inorganic materials and manufacturing; and
- in-depth expertise in one specific stream (raw materials, process or product).
Course structure
An overview of the course structure is provided below. Details of the compulsory and optional elements of the course are provided in the Course components section of this page.
You will be trained in a single cohort initially (in the first six months) through a series of compulsory taught courses covering a wide range of topics in inorganic materials, and a short industrial internship. A tailored introductory programme will cover fundamentals in chemistry and materials.
You will also conduct an eight-week industrial internship during the second term of year one. Accommodation and travel expenses will be funded by the CDT. Industrial internships will provide you with the opportunity to work closely at the sites of the University's IMAT industrial partners. You will work within industry teams at sites across the UK, or abroad, and experience the demands and expectations of diverse end-users and customers.
From the second half of year one, you will focus primarily on your substantive research project, which you will have chosen before the start of your course.
To learn more about the research topics you’ll have the opportunity to explore, please refer to the Research areas section on this page.
During all four years of the course you will receive a tailored programme designed to broaden your research and professional skills. The course expects to have strong engagement with industry, with regular visits and interactions with industrial partners.
Attendance
The course is full-time and requires attendance in Oxford. Full-time students are subject to the University's Residence requirements.
Provision exists for students on some courses to undertake their research in a ‘well-founded laboratory’ outside of the University. This may require travel to and attendance at a site that is not located in Oxford. Where known, existing collaborations will be outlined on this page. Please read the course information carefully, including the additional information about course fees and costs.
Resources to support your study
As a graduate student, you will have access to the University's wide range of resources 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, as well as guidance on what technology to bring with you as a new student at Oxford.
The Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing CDT is based in the Departments of Chemistry and Materials. The majority of the taught courses during the first year will be held in the Doctoral Training Suite in the Rodney Porter Building. There is a dedicated student office, with individual desk areas and allocated computers.
Workspace after the initial taught course will be related to individual circumstances. If undertaking experimental work, you will be provided with space in a research laboratory with access to all the required equipment. If undertaking theoretical research, you will have shared office space.
You will have access to the departmental IT support staff, to the Radcliffe Science Library and other university libraries, and centrally provided electronic resources and technical workshops.
Experimental facilities are available as appropriate to the research topic. The provision of other resources specific to your project should be agreed upon with your supervisor as a part of the planning stages of the agreed project.
Supervision
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Materials and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. A supervisor may also be found outside the Department of Chemistry and Department of Materials.
Most students can typically expect to meet with their supervisor, or a senior member of the research team, every week.
Departmental supervisors are drawn from some of the country's leading research chemists and materials scientists, many of whom have world-class reputations.
If there is the need for pastoral care, support is available from the project supervisor, the Programme Manager and the Associate Director for Student Experience.
Assessment
All modules during the taught course component involve some aspect of formal assessment, including written reports, problem-solving, and group and individual presentations.
Throughout the project component of the course, a termly report on your progress is usually submitted by both you and your supervisor.
You will be admitted as a Probationary Research Student and, at an appropriate stage (normally after six terms), you must pass the Transfer of Status assessment, to ensure you have the potential to gain a doctorate, in line with the University's graduate student progression guidelines. This assessment is made by independent assessors based on overall performance in the taught course component, together with a project report, a short presentation and an oral examination. Assuming that you satisfactorily transfer to DPhil status, your research proceeds with quarterly reporting throughout the rest of your course.
You must apply for Confirmation of Status by the end of your ninth term, to ensure that you are on track to complete the thesis within a reasonable time. You will be expected to submit a DPhil thesis within, at most, four years from the date of admission. The thesis will usually be read by two examiners, one of whom is normally from Oxford and one from elsewhere, and assessment will be via the thesis and an oral (viva voce) examination. The examiners will judge, along with other requirements, whether you have made a significant and substantial contribution to a particular field of learning.
Graduate destinations
This is a new programme and there are no alumni yet. Graduates of the DPhil programmes in chemistry and materials have gone on to work for a wide range of employers, including universities, high-tech start-up companies, and industry. There is a wide variety of potential destinations that may include scientific writing, patent attorneys, government and civil service, or financial and business services. The Departments of Chemistry and Materials run an annual careers event for graduate students, and the University's Careers Service offers specialist support.

Additional costs
There are compulsory elements of this course that entail additional costs beyond fees (or, after fee liability ends, continuation charges) and living costs. The CDT will fund all travel and accommodation expenses associated with the compulsory industrial internship that students undertake during the first year. Depending on your choice of research topic and the research required to complete it, you may also incur additional expenses, such as accommodation and travel expenses related to placements and conferences, and research expenses related to your chosen research topic. The CDT provides funding to all students to contribute to the cost of attendance at conferences and placements (neither of which are compulsory). It also provides all students with a consumables budget, to contribute to the costs of their research expenses.
Living costs
In addition to your course fees and any additional course-specific costs, you will need to ensure that you have adequate funds to support your living costs for the duration of your course.
Living costs for full-time study
For the 2026-27 academic year, the range of likely living costs for a single, full-time student is between £1,405 and £2,105 for each month spent in Oxford. We provide the cost per month so you can multiply up by the number of months you expect to live in Oxford. Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to budget for the costs of a student visa and immigration health surcharge and/or living costs for family members or other dependants that you plan to bring with you to Oxford (if dependant visa eligibility criteria are met).
Further information about living costs
The current economic climate and periods of high national inflation in recent years make it harder to estimate potential changes to the cost of living over the next few years. For study in Oxford beyond the 2026-27 academic year, it is suggested that you budget for potential increases in living expenses of around 4% each year – although this rate may vary depending on the national economic situation.
A breakdown of likely living costs for one month during the 2026-27 academic year are shown below. These costs are based on a single, full-time graduate student, with no dependants, living in Oxford.
