Engineering Doctorate Two Centres at Manchester – Nuclear (consortium) – Advanced Manufacturing (Manchester only) Integrated doctorate level programme includes – Challenging, commercially relevant research project – Management/business training (Postgraduate Diploma) – Technical modules – Professional Development Programme – Full technical competence – Personal Development Plan – Accredited by IMechE, IET (support for CEng, CChem…)
4
Engineering Doctorate Aimed at students from all areas of EPS: – Aerospace, Chem Eng, Chemistry, Civil Eng, Computer Sci, Materials, Mech Eng, Physics etc…. Manchester brings together Manufacturing and Nuclear as one cohort – Team building and activity based learning – Shared experiences & mutual support – Learn from each other

Nuclear EngD - Sponsorship and Finance Two possible routes Research Council funded – RE is not employed by the sponsoring company No Research Council funding – RE is employed by the sponsoring company
9
EngD in Advanced Manufacturing Manchester based programme Same structure as Nuclear Research disciplines – any engineering/ science area Projects must support advanced manufacturing – e.g. aerospace, automotive, composites, construction, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electronics, nanotechnology ….. Sponsorship opportunities – Potential for research council funded studentships – Fully Industry funded projects – Subject to availability (ask for details)
