AAPS is where science, behaviour change and future engineering meet

Being part of the AAPS CDT is a fun and rewarding experience. Coming from a background in psychology, I’ve been able to immerse myself in new ideas and apply my experience to address some of the most pressing issues society is facing. It’s great to have the opportunity to work with students and researchers from a variety of disciplines and to benefit from the support and perspectives of the diverse CDT community in shaping my research

Catherine Naughtie, Cohort 1

Not coming from an automotive background, the CDT provided a great introduction to the challenges facing the industry. As a result of the friendly cooperative environment, I was able to learn about a variety of problems to which I could apply myself.

Alex Trenam, Cohort 2

As a non-engineer the MRes year was an invaluable experience, I now have a wide range of technical subject matter knowledge and have developed a variety of new skills to prepare me for my PhD and what lies beyond

Rob Gray, Cohort 1

A standout feature of the CDT is working with others from different backgrounds and expertise, it is great to learn and hear other people's perspectives and ideas and have a chance to collaborate on projects focused on present and future challenges. I feel the course provides opportunities to broaden your knowledge on developments in the Automotive industry, having access to leading academics and to learn about the current discussions and work being done in this sector.

James Angus, Cohort 2

Joining the AAPS CDT gives you the opportunity to explore different point of views in the context of alternative propulsion systems. The CDT is also a great way to begin a new learning journey with the help of the knowledge and support of a team of like-minded experts from different backgrounds.

Elisabetta Schettino, Cohort 1

The AAPS CDT offers a unique opportunity to learn from leading academics and work with experts from a range of backgrounds, while applying your own skills in new contexts on collaborative projects. This provides an excellent framework and support structure to prepare oneself for working in forward thinking, innovative and multidisciplinary environments which are key to solving some of the biggest challenges faced by the automotive and transport sector today.

Charlie Gaylard, Cohort 2

Coming from a different University, joining the AAPS CDT was a great way to meet new people and make new friends before entering the PhD. By doing this, I feel much more at home at Bath and comfortable at the University. I know that I have the support network from staff and fellow students on the course to carry out my research for the next few years
