Engineering PhD

University of Brighton

The University of Brighton's achieved impressive results in the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) and the world-leading and internationally excellent outputs from our engineering researchers in this and past REFs were complemented with impact studies that highlighted the value that our work brings to wider society. As a postgraduate student you will join dedicated research staff in a mission to make a difference to society through engineering. You are likely to be joining the prestigious Advanced Engineering Centre (AEC). The centre has its own dedicated building and enjoys an international reputation for producing innovative, future-facing research in collaboration with organisations and businesses internationally. It attracts research expertise, partnerships and funding from across the world as well as contributing to complex global engineering problems and many of our successful PhD engineers have worked on established collaborative AEC projects . At the Advanced Engineering Centre, we investigate and optimise complex thermofluid processes and develop laser-based measurement techniques, fundamental modelling and computational simulation and conduct engineering research across a range of areas including aeronautical, aerospace, electrical and manufacturing.
