Key Facts

This EngD is a four-year, full-time, programme based in Edinburgh for Semesters 1 and 2 of year 1 (September to June), after which students are physically based with their sponsoring company, spread all across the UK, for 3 years.  Research projects are entirely driven by the sponsoring company and reflect the research focusses of the ORE sector, in real time.  Students are matched with their research project in February of year 1, and projects kick off in the following June.  IDCORE’s industry-based approach provides students with real-world industry experience and an opportunity to really contribute to the activities of their company.
