Program Overview

Overview

The School of Engineering offers postgraduate research degrees at PhD level in all of their major research areas. The PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering has a mission to foster, promote, and conduct research of international quality. The program attracts high-quality graduates and researchers and trains them to international standards.

How You'll Learn

Delivery and teaching methods include working with academic supervisors and experts from day one of the PhD. Supervisors will guide students through thesis research activities, and students will have access to laboratories with their own desk and computer. Various computer cluster rooms are also available, and off-campus study may be possible in some circumstances, particularly if there is industrial sponsorship.

The program offers various training programs to enhance soft skills, such as research methodologies, presenting skills, and teamwork. Students may also have opportunities to undertake paid laboratory demonstrations and tutoring to gain teaching experience.

Assessment methods depend on the modules but typically include a thesis and a viva. The program offers a wide range of projects for the thesis, which can be provided by academics or proposed by the student.

Your Development

The Faculty of Science, Agriculture, and Engineering (SAgE) researcher development program is designed to help students perform better as researchers, boost their career prospects, and broaden their impact. The program includes workshops and activities to build transferable skills and increase confidence, covering techniques for effective research, methods for better collaborative working, and essential professional standards and requirements.

The Doctoral College and Global Challenges Academy also provide opportunities for interdisciplinary PhD students to work together and engage in research that addresses global challenges.
