What we do

The School of Engineering is one of the largest of its type in the UK. There are over 50 academic and teaching staff, 200 research staff and postgraduates following taught programmes or undertaking research. The various taught masters programmes benefit from the great research strengths within the department, and from the extensive and well-equipped laboratories.

A substantial proportion of the research carried out is performed in close collaboration with industry, and these links influence and inform our teaching. As part of their masters degree, all students will perform an individual project, and students will benefit from working in one of the top research universities in the UK, and alongside staff who often have an international reputation in their field.

Taught MSc Programmes - Full time (12 months)

Applications are now being accepted for our next entry - Monday 1st October 2012

The objectives of our MSc variants are: to provide training in advanced research methods; to bring you to a high level of knowledge and understanding in topics central to engineering; to enable you to undertake research; to allow you freedom to choose from a substantial range of topics in order to match your individual background and career interests; to provide the experience of a substantial piece of original research or innovative design. The courses are particularly suitable if you intend to progress either to industrial research and development, or to a PhD course.

To apply for any of our courses please use the How to Apply link.

PhD, MPhil and MSc by Research 

Applications are accepted all year round

Postgraduate students are accepted to study for an MSc by research (1 to 2 years) or a PhD (3 years). Part-time registration is also possible, requiring, of course, a longer period of study. New research topics are regularly adopted and the coverage of most branches of engineering within a single large School makes it easy to pursue inter-disciplinary research at Warwick. Research degree courses do not contain any interim examinations, but students are expected to attend lecture modules on appropriate topics. Students are required to submit annual progress reports. Regular meetings are held with a progress panel, established for each student to monitor progress and give advice. Research students are encouraged to give seminars, publish their findings and to undertake (paid) laboratory demonstrating work.
