Postgraduate Research Opportunities
Our department is internationally recognised for both the quality of its research and educational provision. We offer the option of studying for the degrees of MPhil and PhD.
Our research base is diverse, spanning structural and functional materials and biomaterials/tissue engineering. Within these broad headings, we have active research on all major materials disciplines including metals, glasses, ceramics, coatings, magnetic materials, polymers and composites. These lists are not intended to be fully comprehensive; other topics can be negotiated with individual staff members. Additional projects will be notified in supplements issued periodically during the session. Under each major heading the projects are grouped according to the prime supervisor (with supervisors in alphabetical order by surname).
