PhD information
Overview
The School very much welcomes enquiries from individuals wishing to study for postgraduate research degrees, such as MPhil and EngD/Phd degrees. (Typical duration two or three-and-a-half years.)
We have internationally active research staff in our three research divisions who are ready to provide further details of possible project opportunities:
- Energy (Head, Dr Simon Watson)
- Communications (Head, Dr James Flint)
- Systems (Head, Prof Roy Kalawsky)
We provide our postgraduate researchers with the very best facilities and we encourage publication of research findings in the foremost technical journals, such as those of the IEEE and IET. Our researchers also commonly have opportunity to present their research findings at the leading international conferences in their field and to work with UK industry to ensure their work has maximum impact. For further project specific enquiries, please contact initially the head of the appropriate division, or, for more general enquiries within the School regarding postgraduate research study please contact Mrs Julie Allen
How to Apply
Application procedures and other information – including an online application form - are available on the University’s Postgraduate Prospectus.
