Thousands of postgraduate students will study cutting-edge science at universities across the UK as part of a £500 million skills drive announced today (Wednesday 13 November) by the Science Secretary Peter Kyle.
This backing of our higher education sector will unearth new discoveries and bring through the expert workforce that can grow our economy and improve lives for years to come.
Support will be targeted to areas of study where universities are particularly strong, with over 4,700 talented students and 45 of our world-class higher education institutions unlocking the next generation of transformative discoveries, from pursuing the next lifesaving drug to investigating the clean energy of the future, and beyond.
