PhD students in Control Systems study the way that devices are managed, commanded and regulated using control loops. Control systems are used in industries like manufacturing, aerospace and aviation.
What is it like to do a PhD in Control Systems?
A PhD in Control Systems will have you using numerical and analytical methods to improve the performance of control systems. You will be using mathematical models to describe the dynamics of complex systems and contribute to research in areas like robotics and satellite guidance.
Some popular research topics in Control Systems are:
- Robot motion control
- Traffic engineering
- Satellite guidance
- Linear systems and control theory
If you are interested in working on similar topics, here are some example research topics in Control Systems that you could consider:
- Computational methods in feedback control design
- Optimisation and its application to control systems
- Stability and asymptotic analysis of nonlinear systems
- Control of nonlinear systems
- Robust control of uncertain systems
You may also attend conferences and publish papers to help you expand your knowledge on your field of research. You will be required to submit a thesis to be defended during your viva in the final year of your PhD.
You will also be provided with access to facilities like a fully-equipped lab that you can use for your research.
Entry Requirements
The minimum entry requirement for a PhD in Control Systems is usually a 2:1 Bachelors degree in a related subject, though a Masters may sometimes be required. You will also be expected to show some proficiency in the language of instruction at your university.
PhD in Control Systems funding options
In the UK, a PhD in Control Systems is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). They offer fully-funded studentships along with a monthly stipend. If you are awarded a PhD studentship, you will receive the funding automatically provided you complete the research project asked of you.
PhD in Control Systems careers
A PhD in Control Systems can help you prepare for a career in research, development and innovation. You might also consider a career in academia or in consulting.
