HighWire Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT)

General information

HighWire is a cross-disciplinary and user-centric Doctoral Training Centre, which places innovation at the heart of its curriculum and ethos. We aim to go beyond traditional multi-disciplinary approaches by seeking a creative fusion between three key disciplines, namely computer science, management and design.

The emphasis is on producing a new breed of innovative people who understand and are able to advance the state of the art in technical, design and business innovation: innovative people prepared to work in challenging roles in organisations and ready to drive radical change in the digital economy.

We closely align with the needs and goals of business and industry to ensure the relevance of our programme and to encourage technology exchange and early adoption of emerging technologies, processes and ideas.
