Research Degrees (PhD / EngD)
A PhD/EngD is the target of most of the postgraduate students working in the department who relish the opportunity to undertake a research project with clear intellectual, scientific, industrial or commercial relevance and challenge. If you come to us from industry you might well find it possible to do the kind of postgraduate work which is of particular value to your organisation as well as to your own advanced training. If you already have some experience of research work you may enter for this degree direct. In almost all cases your supervisor will recommend that you attend modules from the taught MSc courses that the group offers. The PhD then requires a minimum period of three years of full time research. The EngD degree is normally a four-year course with the same high standards of research training as the PhD but also incorporating a framework of industrial management.
