Entry Requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold at least at Upper Second honours degree in electronic and electrical engineering or computer science, or equivalent. Some relevant industrial experience is preferred but not essential. Candidates with a lower formal qualification enhanced by an appropriate Master’s degree and/or substantial relevant industry experience may be considered; please contact the EngD Centre to discuss this.

Interviews for programme entry are carried out at the EngD Centre and on site with potential sponsors.

Applications

To apply, please send a current CV to the Engineering Doctorate Centre for review. Potential candidates are welcome to contact the EngD Centre Manager for an informal discussion about the programme at any time.

Funding

Funding is available to eligible candidates. Eligible students are:

• UK citizens normally resident in the UK
• permanent UK residents, with settled status in the UK within the meaning of the Immigration Act 1971
• EU citizens ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK, including EU graduates of UK universities who still live in the UK, or EU graduates of European universities who have subsequently moved to the UK to work for one or more years

International students are not eligible for any form of funding. EU citizens not ordinarily resident in the UK for three years immediately prior to EngD enrolment may be eligible for a fees-only award. The EngD Centre will consider applications from candidates able to arrange their own funding for four years, but is unable to suggest organisations or companies that could provide such funding.

Funded places are limited, and awarded competitively. Selection for funding is by interview at the EngD Centre.
