PhD Engineering Sciences

A doctoral programme for original research across the engineering sciences, from mechanics and materials to electrical, environmental and process engineering. Candidates complete structured doctoral training in research design, experimental and computational methods and research ethics, pass a qualifying examination on their research proposal, and then carry out independent research under supervision. The programme culminates in a doctoral thesis, normally including peer-reviewed publications, defended before an examination committee. It suits holders of a strong master's degree in engineering or the physical sciences.
