What you will study

This internationally-leading joint EngD with IDCORE aims to meet the UK’s ambitious deployment targets for offshore renewable energy technologies. An EngD is a four year research degree awarded for industrially relevant research, the degree provides a more vocationally oriented approach to obtaining a doctorate in engineering commensurate with that of a PhD. Led by the University of Exeter at its Cornwall Campus and based at the University of Edinburgh, this EngD programme is delivered through a partnership with the universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford.

Career pathways

During the EngD programme, students will be undertaking a project that tackles a genuine commercial problem in a real-world environment. This kind of broad training, alongside the development of research and commercial skills, will make EngD students extremely employable. Research Engineers will spend 75% of the time throughout their project in industry, thereby developing successful networks and contacts for future employment.
