Research Areas
The Faculty of Science and Engineering welcomes students who are interested in pursuing PhD, MRes or MPhil research degrees in our departments of:
We have a highly collegiate approach to research with the research interests of staff falling across traditional departmental boundaries and across the academic-industry divide. This gives rise to exciting cross-disciplinary project areas that can make use of all the facilities of the departments that make up the faculty. Projects are designed around the fundamental underpinning science and technology necessary for progress in one or more specific industry sectors, and can involve experimental, theoretical, computational, or modelling aspects.
Applicants should normally have, or expect to obtain, at least an upper second-class honours degree in a discipline appropriate to their intended area of research.
