PhD students in Manufacturing Engineering research a wide range of new processes and products that are used to create machines and other man-made items. Research in Manufacturing Engineering looks at how products are designed, produced and recycled, and the role of manufacturing in a globalised economy.
What's it like to study a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering?
With a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering, you'll be working with an expert team to help drive research in areas such as energy and resource efficiency, robotics and automation, and sustainable manufacturing. You'll likely have some lab-based work, but much of your time will be spent working independently on your research project.
Possible research areas include:
- Smart manufacturing
- Manufacturing analytics
- Sustainable manufacturing
- Robotics and automation
- Chemical processes and materials
Your research will likely have an industrial context, and you may have the opportunity to collaborate with local and national industry partners.
PhD in Manufacturing Engineering entry requirements
The entry requirements for a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering vary between universities, but you'll usually need a 2:1 undergraduate degree in a relevant subject, along with a Masters qualification. You will also need to submit a thesis proposal to be defended during your PhD.
PhD in Manufacturing Engineering funding options
The main funding option for PhDs in Manufacturing Engineering is a UK Research Councils funding package, which covers the cost of tuition, a living cost stipend, and other costs such as tuition fees, training and support services.
If you don't have any attached funding, other options for financial support include university scholarships, graduate teaching assistantships and graduate loans.
PhD in Manufacturing Engineering careers
Manufacturing Engineering is a diverse field, and the skills you'll gain during your PhD are highly transferable. You could apply for a research or development role at a local or international manufacturing firm, or continue into academia.
