What our students say
Find a PhD course
If you are interested in doing a PhD with us, please look at the interests of our Department's research groups and get in contact with an academic.
Study in industry
Our students have the opportunity to spend four years in industry via our unique engineering doctorate programme hosted through our prestigious EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Micro- and NanoMaterials and Technologies (MiNMaT). This programme combines working on research with an industrial partner and taught courses on our campus.
