Our EPSRC sponsored International Doctorate Centre (IDC) offers the next generation of the popular EngD doctoral qualification, the EngD International.

Bringing together rising young stars in the research and technical arena with sponsor companies who see the benefit in working with these 'Research Entrepreneurs' to develop innovative solutions to real challenges facing manufacturing industries today, the IDC aims to train the leaders and entrepreneurs of the future.

An open evening is being held in WMG's International Digital Laboratory on Thursday 22 November for interested companies to find out more about the Centre, discuss potential research projects and take a look around WMG's cutting edge facilities.

The Engineering Doctorate provides a more vocationally oriented doctorate in engineering than the traditional PhD and is better suited to the needs of industry. It combines taught modules to bring students up to best industrial practice, with original research based on real industry problems. By applying rigorous analysis, innovative thinking and good management practice they will stand out above their competitors and be of great asset to their sponsor company.

Current partners include: Jaguar Land Rover, PTC, Superform, IMechE, BAE Systems.

To find out more and to register to attend on November 22 please see our event calendar.
