Overview
An EngD is a four year research degree awarded for industrially relevant research, the degree provides a more vocationally oriented approach to obtaining a doctorate in engineering commensurate with that of a PhD.
Led by the University of Exeter at its Cornwall Campus and based at the University of Edinburgh, this EngD programme is delivered through a partnership with the universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford.
The Offshore Renewable Energy programme from The University of Exeter will allow you to receive postgraduate-level technical and transferable skills training at three leading UK universities in the renewable energy research field together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HRWallingford. This university and industry collaboration forms the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), RCUK Energy programme/ETI-funded Industrial Doctorate Centre in Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).
This degree is professionally accredited under licence from the Engineering Council. Visit the Professional accreditation tab for further information.
Careers
During the EngD programme, students will be undertaking a project that tackles a genuine commercial problem in a real-world environment. This kind of broad training, alongside the development of research and commercial skills, will make EngD students extremely employable.
Research Engineers will spend 75% of the time throughout their project in industry, thereby developing successful networks and contacts for future employment.
