Precise topics each year are determined by the research interests of the sponsoring companies, and may be aligned with our current CDTs in:
We are also recruiting to EngDs in other themes supported by research in our Faculty, e.g. Transport and the Environment or Biomedical Engineering, as long as there is an industry sponsor.
As all our EngD research students are part sponsored by industry, you will have an industrial supervisor as well as a supervisory team at the University. Research projects are developed collaboratively by the academic supervisors and the research student in consultation with the sponsoring company.
To Apply
Applications for our postgraduate research programmes can be made using our online application form. More information about the application process is available How to apply page.
“Reading for an EngD at Southampton gave me the academic rigour to originate scientific research from fundamentals and present in manner that advanced the UK and beyond. Through the taught management modules, I was equipped with the language and theory to apply management concepts in the workplace; important knowledge I use every day. Today, I specialise in developing Energy Performance Contracts and growing long term commercial relationships with public sector clients. Without the EngD, I very much doubt that I would have ever seen the places I have travelled to in my work or had the pleasure to work with some of the most creative minds in business and engineering.” Howard Stone WhSch, EngD, CEng, MIMechE; Associate Director, Cynergin.
