UNIVERSITY OF SURREY OPENS NEW INDUSTRIAL DOCTORATE CENTRE

Surrey The University of Surrey has recently launched its new Industrial Doctorate Centre in 'Sustainability for Engineering & Energy Systems', which provides funding opportunities for companies of any size wishing to carry out research in this area.

The Centre is host to 12 Engineering Doctorate (EngD) projects per year and funding is currently available for projects starting in 2010. An EngD is similar to a PhD in that it is an academically challenging programme aimed at novel research, but it has one major difference - the student (or 'Research Engineer') works on your premises on a project designed to be strategically important to your company.

Each 4-year project is co-sponsored by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the industrial partner, with the aim of developing the next generation of professionals to become effective agents of change in the transition to a more sustainable, low carbon economy. The projects chosen for funding address one or more of the following research themes: Engineering for Sustainability; Systems Approaches; Sustainable Energy and Low Carbon Systems.

If you would be interested in finding out more about how the EngD programme could benefit your organisation, click here to find out more. Alternatively please contact engd@surrey.ac.uk or 01483 689076.
