By the end of the Engineering Phd, offered at The University of Cambridge, students are expected to have produced original work making a significant contribution to knowledge in the field of engineering. 

Overview

The Department expects that students will leave with the wider skills necessary to be successful in either an academic or a non-academic career. The Engineering Phd is offered at The University of Cambridge.

Features

The Department of Engineering offers PhD studies in a wide variety of subjects:
  • Energy, Fluid Mechanics and Turbomachinery
Building on research in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to develop a systems view of energy generation and utilisation, particularly in the ground and air transport, to mitigate environmental impact.
  • Electrical Engineering
Pursuing fundamental electrical, electronic and photonic research at the material, device and system levels with a focus on creating integrated solutions in the fields of nanotechnology, sensing, energy generation, energy conversion, displays and communications.Mechanics, Materials and DesignExtending fundamental and applied research in mechanics, materials, and design, exploiting cross-disciplinary partnerships across the University; and building on existing strengths to develop excellence in bioengineering and healthcare systems research.
  • Civil Engineering
Advancing the mechanics of civil and structural engineering systems within the broader context of the design, construction and operation of sustainable infrastructure and the stewardship of Earth's resources and environment.
  • Manufacturing and Management
Developing a new understanding of manufacturing technology, operations, strategy and policy, in close partnership with industry, in order to improve industrial performance.
  • Information Engineering
Developing fundamental theory and applications relating to the generation, distribution, analysis and use of information in engineering and biological systems.
