Explore research possibilities within the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management (DMEM), where we encourage innovative research proposals for all our degree programs year-round.PhDOur PhD programs involve pioneering research spanning up to three-and-a-half years. This work aims to produce substantial, original contributions to your chosen field, with findings published in top-tier science and engineering journals, culminating in a doctoral thesis. Funding options include self-support, industry sponsorship, university backing, research council grants, or a mix of these sources. Applicants should hold a first-class or upper second-class Honours degree in biomedical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, or related physical/life sciences.EngDThe Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a four-year research program combining advanced coursework with practical study. We provide EngD specializations in Systems Engineering Management, Advanced Manufacturing: Technology & Systems, and Advanced Manufacturing: Forging and Forming.This program enables deep exploration of cutting-edge manufacturing methods, forging, and forming techniques. It equips driven students with the technical expertise, business acumen, and leadership skills needed for future senior research management roles.Differing from conventional PhDs, the EngD emphasizes industry-focused research. Graduates receive an EngD in Advanced Manufacturing: Forging & Forming, a qualification equivalent to a PhD.
You'll need a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant discipline from a recognised academic institution.
