Manufacturing Engineering

Manufacturing engineering involves the research and development of systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment.

Our three year PhD is based within the Faculty of Engineering enabling you to choose from a wide range of research areas and work across traditional research boundaries being part of interdisciplinary teams.

The project can cover many different fields within this discipline, these are just an example of some fields you could consider:

design

manufacturing

assembly

measurement

testing

modelling

Our research work spans a range of applications including:

medicine

aerospace and automotive engineering

energy and the construction industry

sustainable design and development

It also includes work from the most fundamental studies up to near-commercial investigations.
