The vision of CSIT’s Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) is to produce a cohort of 15 industry-conscious cyber security PhD graduates capable of strategically thinking about future cyber security challenges and leading innovation in tackling those challenges. It is increasingly recognized that today’s knowledge-based economy puts far greater demands upon doctoral graduates than the skills and training typically provided by a traditional PhD. This is particularly true in advanced technology fields such as Cyber Security, where the leaders of tomorrow, whether they are future research leaders in academia, in industry or in government organisations, increasingly need to combine comprehensive technological strength and depth with other important skills and expertise. Tomorrow’s cyber security leaders need to combine leadership, management, and enterprise skills with a deeper understanding of a rapidly changing technological, socio-economic and geopolitical landscape and the business opportunities this provides. 

The training programme has been developed to complement research skills.
