If you’re already in such a role, the Ph.D. is a major piece of personal development, developing new knowledge and building skills for your next career step. Your engineering Ph.D. study builds on our expertise and professional and industry networks.
We cover the major aspects of mechanical and electronic engineering and civil engineering. We are interested in interdisciplinary research building links to areas including the built environment, computing, health, law, and others.
What's covered in the course?
A Ph.D. enables you to follow a programme of self-directed, independent study, supported by experienced supervisors who are themselves experts in their area. We may use industry experts to support some projects, and others may be run in full collaboration with an industry partner.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Research Practice prepares you for study at this level, as most find it a very different experience from previously taught courses. Topic-specific training and support are identified and provided by your supervision team and other experts as necessary.
Although you will be developing as an independent researcher, you will be supported both by your supervisors and the wider research community in the School, Faculty and University. There are regular opportunities for you to present and share your work with other research students and staff.
Why Choose Us?
Expert staff supervisors, keen to help their students succeed
Excellent links with industry, both to support your research and your career progression
Research grounded in traditional areas of engineering but also keen to build cross-discipline links to shape future materials, technologies and products
Encouragement and support for you to publish your work
Opportunities to support and teach other students, including bringing your new research into their education
A range of specialist labs/workshops, software, facilities, and working environments tailored to specific project needs
Entry Requirement
Admission Requirements:
To apply for our Art and Design Ph.D. research degree you should have, or expect to be awarded, a Masters degree in a relevant subject area from a British or overseas university.
Exceptional candidates without a Master's degree, but holding a first-class Bachelors degree in a relevant subject area, may be considered.
We also welcome enquiries from potential Ph.D. researchers without formal academic qualifications but with appropriate levels of professional experience.
If you intend to take a practice-led research approach to your Ph.D. study, then you will be expected to show your portfolio as part of the application process, normally at the formal interview stage.
Please send us an initial Ph.D. inquiry containing your brief Ph.D. research proposal (max. 500 words), and/or any questions or queries you may have.
