The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Designing Responsible Natural Language Processing (NLP) aims to develop doctoral graduates that represent a new paradigm of interdisciplinary NLP researcher: individuals who can harness the full potential of NLP-based systems and create richer interactions between humans and AI.

Our training will give you foundational knowledge across five fundamental skills domains, along with expertise in at least one of these areas. The training programme aims to create an NLP practitioner culture of responsibility, with graduates who are confident in combining technical expertise with:

• ethics
• governance
• consideration of users and use contexts

Students will train together in cohorts formed from various disciplines and background experiences. You will be supported to collaborate on ‘team science’ applied NLP projects. Through these projects, you will also get the chance to work with some of our 70+ partners in the following sectors:

• industry
• public
• non-profit
• research
