MSc by Research Engineering

This Engineering MSc by Research is ideal for active engineers to explore an industry project and gain an academic award.

Two-thirds of this course is a research project that helps you develop expertise in a specific subject. The remainder is made up of options from the department's portfolio of master's courses.

Research projects can be drawn from across the faculty's areas of expertise, including manufacturing systems, control and instrumentation, and bulk solids handling. Recent projects include the design and construction of a test rig, the development of an automated elutriation tester, and the use of standpipes to develop full outlet area activation.

The faculty has invested over £1 million in specialised equipment to support teaching and research. You'll benefit from world-class facilities at our Medway Campus in Kent, including 3,000 square metres of state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.
