Our Open Day is aimed at encouraging all students to consider continuing their quantum information science and technologies studies at the PhD level. There will be ample time to talk in small groups to the other participants who are facing the same decisions, and to current PhD students who have recently faced the same questions. It will address the nature of PhD research, the work environment, the application process, and career options. It will also provide an opportunity to visit the dedicated QIST CDT facilities and discuss all your questions around PhD study.
