Mechanical Engineering , PhD
Our mechanical engineering research is varied and internationally-leading, covering topics from clean energy and advanced materials to manufacturing systems, robotics and healthcare. The department is organised into six research groups covering:
- Dynamics & Control
- Solid Mechanics
- Engineering Systems & Design
- Ultrasonics & Non-Destructive Testing
- Robotics
- Fluid & Aerodynamics
Our students collaborate worldwide with industrial partners, other universities, public-sector organisations, research institutes and NGOs, producing novel and multidisciplinary research which attacks technical, societal and environmental challenges. They also make use of extensive and modern lab facilities at Queens Building in central Bristol, and at collaborating centres. With a large, diverse and active cohort of PhD, EngD and MScR students, the department forms a close-knit and supportive community of practice in engineering research. Its success is evidenced by consistently high performance in national rankings for research and teaching quality.
As well as postgraduates holding individual research studentships in Mechanical Engineering, the department hosts students from many EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training including Future Autonomous Robotic Systems (FARSCOPE), Composites Science, Engineering and Manufacturing, Nuclear Energy Futures, Digital Health and Care, Future Innovation in NDE, Composites, and others.
Applicants should contact a potential academic adviser to discuss available projects before submitting an application.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
The majority of our master’s programmes require a first class degree (60% or higher) from a recognised Indian university, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programmes may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, please contact us.
We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
