The University of Birmingham takes full advantage of the opportunities offered by the Doctoral Training Partnerships and invests them strategically to enhance research quality, increase research income and subsequent impact, and prepare high quality individuals for academic and industrial workplaces. The University is currently refreshing its Strategic Framework and this will be followed by a revision of the Framework for each of the Colleges. In addition, in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) a new Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer is currently in the process of being appointed, providing further opportunities for review of our systems and methodology. Over-arching responsibility for the management of the DTP sits with the College Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer (DoRKT), who Chairs the College Graduate Committee. The latter monitors the various aspects of DTPs (and related schemes), though one area that has been identified as needing improvement is in the recording of DTP flexibilities. Whilst there is anecdotal evidence that the University is taking full advantage of these opportunities, this aspect will be monitored much more rigorously in future as part of the overall refresh of our systems. DTPs are allocated strategically around all the Schools in EPS based on assisting new academic appointees; the quality of the research projects submitted; the quality of the student; a desire to support the submission of major research proposals; and supporting strategic research areas. With the University being at the heart of a number of recent and significant Government-backed investments and projects, the latter has increased in importance. The goal is to get the balance right between driving through new initiatives and supporting existing success in terms of distributing the resources available.The University has excellent systems in place for monitoring equality and diversity across all of its staff and students. An analysis of the results indicates that there is room for improvement in the number of female and BME research students, however, we are currently limited in terms of the supply available to us. The University is working hard on improving these areas and in 2018 it will open a new £40M Collaborative Teaching Laboratory (CTL) for its Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) students. One feature of this will comprise a robust outreach programme that will encompass school pupils (not least through the University's new University School), FE Colleges and university students. The aim will be to demonstrate the influence of science and engineering on our lives and the health, economy and sustainability of our nation and encourage more people from all backgrounds, ethnicities and genders to engage with these vital subjects.The University's annual Development Needs Analysis (DNA) process ensures that all our PGRs are able to benefit from an individual programme of training that meets their specific transferable and discipline specific needs from a menu of options provided by the School, College, central training partners such as Library Services, Careers Network, the Centre for Learning & Academic Development and the University Graduate School (UGS). DTP student training is orientated around the development of core, advanced and transferable knowledge, skills and understanding, and includes a focus on the impact of research so that that our DTP postgraduate researchers (PGR) are fully prepared for their studies and future careers. There is also significant opportunity for our PGRs to become involved with public engagement.

伯明翰大学充分利用博士培训合作伙伴关系提供的机会，并策略性地投资以提高研究质量，提高研究收入和随后的影响，并为学术和工业工程做好准备。该大学目前正在刷新其战略框架，随后将修订每所大学的框架。此外，在工程与体育科学学院（EPS）目前正在任命研究和知识转移的新总监，为我们的系统和方法论提供了进一步的机会。 DTP管理的管理责任是大学研究生委员会主席的研究与知识转移学院主任（Dorkt）。后来监视DTP（及相关方案）的各个方面，尽管已被确定为需要改进的领域是DTP灵活性的记录。尽管有轶事证据表明大学正在充分利用这些机会，但将来将对这一方面进行更严格的监控，这是我们系统整体刷新的一部分。基于协助新的学术任命，DTP在EPS中的所有学校中进行了战略性分配；提交的研究项目的质量；学生的质量；渴望支持提交重大研究建议的愿望；并支持战略研究领域。由于该大学是许多近期和重要的政府支持的投资和项目的核心，后者的重要性已提高。目的是在开车通过新计划和支持可用资源的现有成功之间取得平衡。该大学拥有出色的系统来监视其所有员工和学生的平等和多样性。对结果的分析表明，女性和BME研究专业的学生人数有改善的余地，但是，我们目前在可用的供应方面受到限制。该大学正在努力改善这些领域，并在2018年为其科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学生开设一个新的4000万英镑合作教学实验室（CTL）。其中一项功能将完成一项强大的外展计划，该计划将涵盖学校学生（尤其是在大学的新大学学校），FE学院和大学生。其目的是证明科学和工程对我们的生活以及我们国家的健康，经济和可持续性的影响，并鼓励更多背景，种族和性别的人参与这些重要主题。网络，学习与学术发展中心和大学研究生院（UGS）。 DTP学生培训是围绕核心，高级和可转移的知识，技能和理解的发展，并关注研究的影响，以便我们的DTP研究生研究人员（PGR）为他们的研究和未来的职业做好了充分的准备。我们的PGR也有很大的机会参与公众参与。
