PhD Civil Engineering

Research in civil engineering and management covers five broad areas: Energy and environmental engineering Engineering management Geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering Structural safety and resilience Tyndall Centre – interdisciplinary research on climate action and sustainability. Our postgraduate research programmes in civil engineering and management offer the opportunity to study in a multi-disciplinary team alongside leading academics in the field, as well as from mechanical and aerospace engineering research areas including: Aerospace engineering Innovative manufacturing Nuclear engineering Solid mechanics Thermofluids Our postgraduate research programmes in civil engineering and management offer the opportunity to study in a multi-disciplinary team alongside leading academics in the field. Drawing on our expertise in structural engineering, geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering, hydraulic and fluid dynamics, material behaviour, computational modelling and dynamics of structures, we deliver world leading and industry relevant research and solutions. Your research will be supported by state-of-the-art computational and experimental facilities. We have strong links with industry and excellent employability in a diverse sector of civil engineering.

The standard academic entry requirement for this PhD is an upper second-class (2:1) honours degree in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD (or international equivalent) OR any upper-second class (2:1) honours degree and a Master's degree at merit in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD (or international equivalent).
