This is the place to explore your passion. 

We offer an ever-changing selection of PhD projects to help you take the next step in your career. Whether you are interested in creating cutting-edge tools and technologies or helping make a greener planet spin a little smoother, our PhD projects span a range of topics.

Many of our PhD projects are funded – known as studentships – covering tuition fees, a stipend and sometimes offering a consumables budget. Please note the amount of funding offered is specific to each studentship and does vary. You can see the specific funding offered for each studentship by viewing its PhD project information.

We work closely with industry partnering with them to offer industrially linked PhD projects. Each project is different, but these can provide the opportunity for you to learn from experts in their fields, gain firsthand experience of working alongside industry, and contribute to developing solutions to real-world industrial problems.

Small steps. Missteps. Great strides. Giant leaps. Make them all here. Get ready to shape the real world.
