Research Degrees

Students benefit from the comprehensive training in transferable skills offered through our Faculty Graduate School, which serves to create a friendly social environment for the Faculty's 670 postgraduate research students. 

The majority of our PhD students have a first degree in engineering or mathematics but several projects are suitable for students with a degree in another discipline.

Programme

All PhDs are individually tailored for you. Further details can be found on the prospectus pages.

Research Tailored to You

All PhD students work on individual projects within one of our research centres. A PhD normally lasts for 3 to 4 years. During this time you will undertake a critical review of your chosen field of study to bring you to the cutting-edge of science, propose a novel solution to your chosen problem, whether theoretical or experimental, and evaluate it.  

If you have an idea for a topic, or want to talk to someone about their current work, please get in touch with an individual academic.
