School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Currently availabe funded projects

EPSRC funding

The School has a number of fully funded EPSRC studentships available (fees plus stipend), the following list is an indication of the research areas within our six research groups that we are looking for students to work in.  Students need to have a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree in an appropriate subject and need to be classed as Home/EU to qualify for the funding. 

If you are interested in one of the projects contact the supervisor directly or apply on line.
