PhD with Integrated Studies in Formulation Engineering

The PhD is managed by the EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Formulation Engineering. We integrate the expertise of the component schools (Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics and Chemistry) aimed at formulation of multiphase structured products in a wide variety of forms.

This PhD with Integrated Studies in Formulation Engineering programme combines a broad foundation in formulation engineering through taught and assessed coursework with the full research training of a traditional PhD.

Applicants for postgraduate research programmes should hold a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree, with a GPA of 3.0/4.0 or 75% from a recognised institution to be considered. Applicants with lower grades than this may be considered on an individual basis.
