We have 20 Geotechnical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)
PhD Studentship: Hydrogen transport processes in underground geological storage and the surrounding environment
Award summary . 100% fees covered for four years and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Read more
Autogenous diagenesis of limestone waste (FES-PhD-2425-01)
Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical and biological processes that ‘turn’ sediments into rock (1,2). As sediments become buried by natural processes, they are subject to overburden pressure and raised temperatures, albeit lower than those that cause metamorphism (2,3). Read more
Artificial Optical Nervous System
The aim of this project is to establish a new class of sensing system that is capable of mapping strain distribution at thousands of points using a single strand of optical fibre thinner than a human hair. Read more
Silent piling for offshore wind turbines
Research Group:
Infrastructure Division
You will develop a novel predictive model for the 'silent' installation of open-ended piles for offshore wind turbine foundations, through advanced physical and numerical modelling. Read more
Protecting UK infrastructure from landslides triggered by climate extremes
Background. Landslides impact the railway network on average three times per week, and their frequency has increased by >50% in the last ten years. Read more
Tackling the geotechnical challenges of floating offshore wind
Co-Supervisor. Professor Susan Gourvenec. Join the UK-wide Offshore Renewable Energy Supergen Hub project, and contribute to the geotechnical engineering of floating offshore wind. Read more
Building resilient offshore infrastructure: centrifuge modelling of submarine landslides (C3.5-MAC-Leonardi)
This PhD project investigates strategies to protect underwater infrastructure, such as subsea power cables, from the impacts of submarine landslides—a growing concern as the UK expands its offshore wind capacity. Read more
Developing a framework for optimising concrete demolition waste using circular economy principles
The construction industry is identified as an intense resource use sector and a great contributor to waste generation globally. It is estimated that in the next 9 years, there will be 2.2 billion tonnes of construction and demolition waste in the world. Read more
Behaviour of under-reamed piles in sand under lateral and vertical loading
The project will involve fabricating small sized FRP and steel rods fitted with circular discs at the bottom and jacked through a layer of sand in a wooden box. Read more
Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation of integrated Energy Systems
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
A fully funded PhD opportunity is now open to students worldwide who aim to advance the research in integrated energy systems. Read more
Environmental Impact of Construction on Peatlands
Reducing greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions is one of the main goals of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement (signed in 2015 during COP21) which seeks to limit the global raise in temperature to 1.5 °C. Read more
Geotechnical Seismic Isolation Technology for Global Earthquake Resilience and Environmental Sustainability
The key idea is that Rubber-Soil mixtures (RSm), derived from car tyres, can be used to modify the foundation and protect civil structures against the action of earthquakes at beneficial economic and environmental costs. Read more
Fiber-Polymer Composites for Sustainable Structural Engineering
Fiber-polymer composites are an innovative and sustainable alternative in construction due to their light weight, excellent fatigue resistance and durability. Read more
University of Bath URSA Project: Resilience of offshore wind turbines to climate-induced extreme storms: load uncertainties, modelling, and guidelines
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Stability of vegetated dunes under wave attack
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
