PhD students are typically externally funded. The University offers various funding opportunities for excellent students. We typically accept PhD students for a start in October and in January. All details and application deadlines for the PhD prgoramme in Engineering are available here.
Industrial collaborator
If you have industrial or consultancy experience with IP and wish to work closely with an academic group, please get in touch. We are always keen to engage with industry and practitioners to learn from the community of experts, but also to see how the tools we develop can be deployed into organisations. For those engagements we work very closely with IfM ECS and its community of third party associates.
