Develop engineering solutions to technical, societal, and environmental challenges, with an independent research project. This programme offers a dynamic blend of academic exploration across various disciplines, fostering creativity, innovation, and exposure to industrial practices.

An MSc by Research focuses on independent learning and discovery. It's great preparation for doctoral study, or to gain a competitive edge in the job market.

The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology offers opportunities for global collaboration, with industrial partners, universities, public-sector organisations, research institutes, and non-governmental organisations.

Your research

Your focus will be on innovative, multidisciplinary research addressing technical, societal, and environmental challenges as part of our extensive research network and facilities. You'll have access to an integrated training programme which can hone your skills and introduce you to industrial practices.

Our guidance spans the entire research journey, from crafting your research plan to completing your thesis. Your final thesis should effectively, clearly and concisely communicate the research question, methodology, results, analysis, and conclusions, with quality and depth appropriate for your MSc by research.
