Recruitment

    • There is a scheme within the School of Engineering to allocate studentships from EPSRC. These cover tuition for UK/EU students for four years and a stipend for 3.5 years. The deadline for application is the end of March for starting the following October. An application includes a research proposal that ideally should align with the proposed supervisor. Contact me if you are interested in including me as your proposed supervisor.
    • I encourage PhD applications by exceptional international (overseas) candidates to the Chancellor's International Scholarship, which covers overseas tuition for four years and a stipend for 3.5 years. There are about 40 awarded per year across the university and they are highly competitive. Applications are due in December for starting the following October. Contact me if you are interested in including me as your proposed supervisor.
    • Externally-funded applicants to the PhD program are welcome. Contact me for more information. The university keeps a directory of scholarship information. Eligible domestic students have a very good chance at securing funding.
