UCL unveils unique security SECReT?

UCL is recruiting students for the inaugural year of a unique PhD in security science. Students will study at the university's new £17m Security Research Training Centre - or UCL SECReT. UCL SECReT is one of the university's nine doctoral training centres funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESPRC). The multidisciplinary centre is recruiting between 10 and 20 students each year for the next five years. The students will complete a four-year programme, working together in groups from different academic backgrounds. The students that will form the first cohort will have backgrounds in computer science, chemistry, engineering, psychology, mathematical sciences, physics geography, and some life and social sciences. The first year of the PhD will take the form of taught modules and research skills training as students learn how their existing expertise can be brought to bear on security-related problems.
