PhD Mechanical Engineering

Choose to study an MSc by Thesis or a PhD research degree in Engineering at Hull and benefit from a wide range of expertise, experience and facilities. The challenges facing the world today are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach. As a general engineering department, we are able to bring together a wide range of expertise, experience and facilities to solving such problems - encompassing mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and energy engineering. We have a long history of excellence in research and in the application of research to address real-world problems. In the latest Research Excellence Framework exercise (REF 2021), 82% of our research was recognised as world-leading or internationally excellent. We welcome applications from potential graduate students who are interested in working with us for PhD or MSc by Thesis. Our PhD programmes prepare you for academic, research, and other high-level careers.

You should normally have, or expect to obtain, at least a 2:1 Honours degree, or international equivalent, in a related discipline appropriate to your intended research.
