PhD Environmental 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 Environmental Engineering offer the opportunity to study in a multi-disciplinary team alongside leading academics in the field. Drawing on our expertise in Bioenergy and biomass, sustainable nuclear energy, low carbon transport, renewable energy socio-economics and carbon capture and storage we develop practical solutions to some of society's most pressing environmental challenges. Your research will be supported by state-of-the-art computational and experimental facilities. We have strong links with industry and excellent employability.
