General requirements

Check you meet the College’s entry requirements.

Review the Department of Mechanical Engineering’s website to work out if you are going to apply for an advertised studentship, contact a research group, or apply to a Centre for Doctoral Training; or if you are going to propose a research project of your own to a potential supervisor.

It is essential that you contact the relevant member(s) of academic staff to discuss the project you are interested in, and to discuss eligibility and funding, before you submit your formal application to the College. Unfortunately, we are not able to process applications which do not have the support of a prospective supervisor, who should be clearly named in the application.

Once your potential supervisor has agreed to support your PhD application, you should formally apply for a PhD position by submitting your application form online.
