Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
Study your PhD in a department covering the breadth of mechanical engineering research including automotive, aerodynamics, manufacturing and biomechanics.
Join a department with a strong ethos to proactively better the world through taking mechanical engineering research and development to the next level. Our research activities cover fundamental investigations to applied research, and are often carried out collaboratively with industry and other universities.
Your PhD can be in any of the areas of research covered by our research centres:
- Centre for Bioengineering & Biomedical Technologies
- Centre for Climate Adaptation & Environment Research (CAER)
- Centre for Digital, Manufacturing & Design (DMADE)
- Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (IMPS)
- Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems (SES)
- Institute for Propulsion & Mobility (IPM)
You will start this programme in October.
You may also start mid-year, subject to agreement with your supervisor and the Doctoral College.

**Learning**
- Doctoral skills online
- Doctoral skills workshop
- Research project
- Supervisory team
**Research content**
You'll be welcomed into the Department as a junior academic colleague rather than a student. We expect you to play a full and professional role in contributing to the Department’s objective of international academic excellence.
Often our postgraduate projects are linked to industry so you could collaborate with companies on your research, as well as other departments at Bath and other universities. This gives you the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects relevant to industry as well as fundamental engineering topics.
We expect you to carry out supervised research at the forefront of your chosen subject, which must then be written up as a substantial thesis. Presenting your research findings is an important part of research training so we encourage you to prepare papers for publication throughout your PhD.
**Professional Development**
Professional development is a crucial element of doctoral study, not only in supporting your research but also as part of your longer term career development. Our DoctoralSkills workshops and courses will help you build your skills and help you succeed in your doctorate.
Level | RQF Level 8 |

Successful applicants are welcomed very much as junior academic colleagues rather than students, and are expected to play a full and professional role in contributing to the Department’s objective of international academic excellence.
In many cases postgraduate projects are linked to industrial companies and are often carried out in collaboration with other departments within the University and other institutions. Postgraduates thus have the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects with a strong industrial relevance as well as on more fundamental engineering topics.
The dissemination of research findings is seen as a vital component of the research process and graduate students are encouraged to prepare papers for publication as part of their research training.
