- Successful applicants require high level engineering or science skills. We welcome candidates with a background in any engineering discipline (civil, mechanical, chemical, manufacturing, electrical, information and others) or relevant science discipline (including materials science, earth science, environmental science, computer science, mathematics, chemistry) as well as other relevant disciplines including architecture and project management. Some applicants may have industrial experience.
- Students are expected to have a good upper second class (2.1) or first class honours degree from a UK university or an equivalent standard from an overseas university.
- Candidates must have completed at least a three-year degree.
- Entrance is competitive and successful applicants are likely to have high academic achievements.
- Funding (fees+stipend) is available to students who are eligible for ESPRC awards. However, the programme has some flexibility and discretion to support the very best students. UKRI will normally limit the proportion of international students appointed each year through individual doctoral training programmes to 30% of the total.
The University of Cambridge is committed in its pursuit of academic excellence to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach to equality, which supports and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity.
