An interview programme for applicants will involve panel interviews, tours of facilities, and opportunities to meet with existing students. This approach will be effective in choosing candidates who will thrive in the research environment offered by a CDT. Students on the programme will have well-developed technical skills in engineering, science, and preferably some professional work experience. The course is broadly based and inter-disciplinary and welcomes students from any field of engineering or associated discipline, having obtained a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent).

We welcome applicants from across Physical Sciences including Chemistry, Physics, Materials and Engineering. Entry into this prestigious new programme is competitive, and will take into account qualifications, aspirations and experience. Applications for this PhD programme should be made on the standard graduate admissions form to the University, stating course code EGEGR2.

Full EPSRC funding (currently £13,590 student maintenance per year + fees), with additional payments from industrial sponsors of up to £6.5k per year during the PhD phase, is available for UK students and EU students who have studied full-time for three years in the UK.
