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 upgrade procedures to transfer from MPhil to PhD at the end of the second year.
