PhD / MPhil Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management

Research opportunitiesIn the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management (DMEM), we welcome speculative research proposals across all our research degrees throughout the year.PhDWithin a PhD degree programmes you'll undertake cutting-edge research work for a period of up to three-and-a-half years. The outcomes of this research are expected to represent a significant and original advancement of knowledge in the chosen field and will be published in leading science andor engineering journals, as well as at the end of programme doctoral thesis. PhD programmes can be self-funded or sponsored by industry, the University, a research council, or a combination of these.A first-class or upper second-class Honours degree in biomedical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, physical or life sciences.EngDThe Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a four-year doctoral research programme involving a significant taught component. We offer an EngD in Systems Engineering Management, an EngD in Advanced Manufacturing: Technology & Systems; and an EngD in Advanced Manufacturing: Forging and Forming.The programme offers you a unique opportunity to carry out in-depth study and research in advanced manufacturing techniques, forging and forming. It provides ambitious and able students with the technical, business and personal development competencies needed to become the senior research managers of the future.Unlike a traditional PhD, the EngD is focused on industry-based research. On successful completion of the course, you'll be awarded an EngD in Advanced Manufacturing: Forging & Forming which is equivalent to a PhD.
