PhD Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

We're home to award-winning and internationally recognised research centres spanning energy, aerospace, fluids, structures and materials. Our work involves both the creation of new knowledge, and understanding and translating that new knowledge into the technologies of tomorrow.

The Department’s research, teaching and industrial support work is underpinned by state-of-the-art laboratories and local-access to a 3500-node region supercomputer.

You can study an MPhil over the course of one year or a PhD over three years.

You can study either degree in any of our research groups:

Aerospace Centre of Excellence – contact: Professor Massimiliano Vasile

Energy Systems Research Unit – contact: Professor Joseph Clarke

James Weir Fluids Laboratory – contact: Mechanics & Materials Research Centre
