Speculative PhD enquiries
Funded research studentships become available throughout the year across a wide range of Materials topics, funded by UK research councils, industry and Loughborough University. We also welcome enquiries from individuals who have their own funding or would be interested in a part funded PhD opportunity. If you do not have funding, you may still apply, however Institutional funding is not guaranteed. You can view more information about the areas of research covered within the department using the links below.
Our academic staff are very pleased to help prospective students develop their research proposals as part of the application process. We are also very happy for prospective research students to visit the Department to see the facilities and to meet academic staff and research students.
If you are interested in a future PhD opportunity in any of these research areas or generally a PhD within the Department of Materials, please contact: Dr Mark Jepson, email: M.A.E.Jepson@lboro.ac.uk
