Research
Our aim is to address pressing societal issues and grand technical challenges in science and engineering. Research students are attracted to Bristol by the strength of our major research groups to:
- work within a research group to make a significant contribution to the development and understanding of a specific field;
- engage in cutting-edge research in an internationally recognised university;
- explore novel areas of research, directed by world-leading researchers.
The University has secured more than £50 million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to establish nine new Centres for Doctoral Training. These include four-year PhD programmes in advanced composites, robotics, cyber security, and digital health and care.
The centres will train and equip talented engineering and science students with the skills needed to tackle global challenges.
