PhD with Integrated Studies

We currently offer six programmes for PhD with Integrated Studies:

• Environmental management of Urban Land and Water
• Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics
• Concrete Engineering
• Steel Construction
• Structural Engineering
• Vibration Engineering

What is the PhD with Integrated Studies?

Essentially this option combines a one-year specialised taught MSc programme with a three-year individual research PhD.

We recommend this option for applicants who are specifically seeking a four-year programme and/or those wishing to enhance their specialist knowledge and skills before commencing their research.

Information about our MSc programmes

Entry qualifications

A good undergraduate Honours degree (2:1 or better) in a relevant science, or engineering subject, evidence of a potential to carry out research study successfully, and an approved English Language Qualification.

Programme assessment

All of the taught modules will be assessed by coursework and/or formal examination. Assessment of the MSc and doctoral theses will be by written report and oral examination.

It should be noted that transfer from the MSc onto the MPhil/PhD will normally require distinction-level performance on the MSc.

Similarly, students on this programme will be expected to follow the normal departmental procedures for PhD Confirmation at the end of the second year.
