The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree involves extensive, sustained and original research and study, with the results being presented in a thesis which will contribute to the intellectual knowledge of the field. Enrolment in a PhD requires completion of an Honours or Master’s degree to a high standard (typically first-class or second-class division one). You must have completed an independent research project/dissertation or thesis as part of your previous degree/s.
Many of SERC'sPhDstudents have anElectrical and Electronic Engineeringbackground, but some have a background inComputer Science and Software EngineeringǰMechanical Engineering. Occasionally we have students from other areas of science. If we find there is mutual interest in a topic, SERC will find the most appropriate academic department and co-supervisor for you to work with.
