NTU Doctoral School

The Doctoral School is at the heart of research at Nottingham Trent University. It's here to support you through your projects, guide you through innovative research and offer help however you need it - from enrolment, to academic advice, events and more.

Welcome to the Doctoral School

The NTU Doctoral School is your home while undertaking doctoral study. Whether you're working towards a PhD or Professional Doctorate, the Doctoral School can help you through every aspect of your research programme.

We will support you through admission and enrolment, during your project approval and annual monitoring, right up until the submission of your thesis and your viva voce examination. We’re here to provide professional development, a sense of community, and social and academic events that are open to researchers across all disciplines.

The Doctoral School is where you'll find the help you’ll need to become a confident, skilled NTU researcher, and it's the first point of contact for doctoral candidates and supervisors for advice, guidance and support in navigating the doctoral journey.
