PhD/MPhil Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics

City St George's, University of London

Conduct research under the supervision of experts in our mechanical engineering research centres. Access leading facilities including microgas turbines, cavitation facilities, transonic wind tunnel and thermal fluid test facilities. You will conduct in-depth research alongside world-leading experts in our two research centres for Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics. Our Thermofluid Research Centre is a world-leader in microgas turbines and founder of the European Microgas Turbine Forum. We also host the National Institute of Cavitation. Our Aerodynamics and Flow Control Research Centre focuses on these two fundamental areas, as well as emerging disciplines such as bio-fluid mechanics, renewable energy and micro-fluidics. We are part of the National Wind Tunnel Facility, which recognises research-intensive universities demonstrating best practice in aerodynamics. Our staff have academic and industry backgrounds and are experts in the industrial application of theory and research. Our graduates go on to impressive careers for businesses like Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and Dyson. The Full-time duration is 2 – 4 years; Part time: 4 – 7 years and PhD by prior publication: 1 – 2 years.
