Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Research)

The School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EEECS) aims to enhance the way we use technology in communication, data science, computing systems, cyber security, power electronics, intelligent control, and many related areas.

You’ll be part of a dynamic doctoral research environment and will study alongside students from
over 40 countries worldwide.

We supervise students undertaking research in key areas of electronics and
electrical engineering, including:

• Power Electronics,

• Robotics

• Wireless Communications,

• Cybersecurity

• Sensor-based Systems.

Within the School we have a number of specialist research centres. As part of a lively community of over 100 full-time and part-time research students you’ll have the opportunity to develop your research potential in a vibrant research community that prioritises the cross-fertilisation of ideas and innovation in the advancement of knowledge.

Many PhD studentships attract scholarships and top-up supplements. PhD programmes provide our students with the opportunity to acquire an extensive training in research techniques.

MPhil programmes provide our students with the opportunity to acquire an extensive training in research techniques.

Under the direction of your supervisory team you will be expected to submit your thesis at the end of two years for MPhil (or part-time equivalent).
