PhD Research Project

PhD Research Projects are advertised opportunities to examine a pre-defined topic or answer a stated research question. Some projects may also provide scope for you to propose your own ideas and approaches.

Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

This project is in competition for funding with other projects. Usually the project which receives the best applicant will be successful. Unsuccessful projects may still go ahead as self-funded opportunities.

A Bill of Materials (BoM) is a document that lists all of the components and resources needed to build a product, in this case a vehicle.
