About our programmes
The challenges facing the world today are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach. As a general engineering department, we are able to bring together a wide range of expertise, experience and facilities to solving such problems - encompassing mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and energy engineering.
We have a long history of excellence in research and in the application of research to address real-world problems. In the latest Research Excellence Framework exercise (REF 2014), 99% of our research submissions were judged to be 'internationally recognised', with 75% of our outputs classed as 'world-leading' or ''internationally excellent'.
Our research interests are broadly themed around three key areas:
- Energy and Environment
- Medical Engineering
- Sustainable Engineering
We welcome applications from potential graduate students who are interested in working with us for PhD or MSc by Thesis. Our PhD programmes prepare you for academic, research, and other high-level careers.
