Structured PhD Programme: PhD in Civil Engineering and Materials Science

Program Overview

This structured PhD program combines taught modules in transferable research skills and specialist disciplinary teaching to enhance research understanding. It culminates in a research element that fosters autonomous research abilities, equipping graduates to excel as active researchers. The program's focus is on developing both general and discipline-specific research expertise.

Program Outline

Outline:

• The Structured PhD programme consists of two stages: the structured (taught modules) and the research element.
• The structured PhD provides a taught in a core programme that develops transferable research skills.
• The structured element also provides specialist disciplinary teaching to bring understanding to international research levels.
• The research element develops skills for graduates to be active and autonomous researchers.
