The Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE) is an EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training between the University of Bath and Bournemouth University. The CDE creates innovative funded research and development projects for the computer games, animation, VFX, simulation and cultural industries. We embed doctoral students into companies working on research projects to support the growth of the UK economy. Our partners include Aardman Animation, Electronic Arts, Double Negative, Ninja Theory, Hibbert Ralph Animation, the NHS and the National Trust.
 
You will spend one year of preparation and training at Bath or Bournemouth University. This is followed by three years in a company. Fully supported by academic and company supervisors, you will perform leading edge research to feed into the company's next generation products. This exciting and unusual doctoral programme gives you a flying start in your chosen career.

Applicants should hold at least an upper second (2.1) undergraduate or a master degree in a relevant subject, such as Computer Science, Maths, Physics, Engineering or Software Engineering. An ideal candidate should have a strong background in mathematics and be competent in computer programming. Knowledge and experience in computer graphics, computer vision or imaging are desirable.
