Research leading to the degree of MPhil (two years) or PhD (three years) as full-time, part-time or split programmes, is offered in any area related to the Department’s expertise and interests.

D) UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK.

The Department of Engineering is open to graduates in a science or engineering subject. The entry requirement for the MRes (Master of the Rolls - начальник судебных архивов) course is a first-or upper second-class Honours degree (or equivalent overseas qualification). The EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) is sponsoring ten places on the MRes course.

Our one-year taught MSc offers a choice of four degrees:

● Advanced Mechanical Engineering (eg. Design, Computational Techniques and Fluid Dynamics)

● Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology (eg. Advanced Materials, Nanofabrication, Machine Dynamics)

● Electronic Instrumentation (eg. Sensors, Analogue & Digital Devices, Embedded & Dependable Systems)

● Advanced Engineering

Allowing students an excellent choice of degrees and modules to suit their specialist interests. An individual research project is also undertaken – this can be industrially linked.

E) UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN

Trinity College, University of Dublin, was founded in 1592. It is situated in the centre of Dublin, Ireland’s capital city, and covers 42 acres of historically and architecturally important buildings with open green spaces. It has its own sporting facilities and is within walking distance of the many cultural and recreational facilities of the city immortalised by James Joyce. The student body of 11,000 is drawn from Ireland (north and south), the European Union, eastern Europe, the Americas, Australasia, the Middle East and Asia. Approximately 20% of students are postgraduates undertaking research degrees, or Master’s degrees and diplomas through taught programmes. All major academic disciplines are covered with the exception of Agricultural and Veterinary Science.
