Aerospace Engineering PhD (The University of Manchester)

Aerospace Engineering PhD


Degree awarded: Doctor of Philosophy Duration: 36 Months [Full-Time] / 72 Months [Part-Time] Entry requirements: A student may be admitted to a PhD degree only if an appropriate research environment is available for the duration of the degree. This should include the availability of appropriate academic staff to provide supervision and training, other research-support staff, research facilities and learning resources. Applicants for admission will normally hold a Bachelors degree or equivalent qualification, a Masters Degree or equivalent qualification, or both. The level of attainment for the Bachelor's degree will normally be equivalent to that of a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours UK Bachelor's degree. Some areas of study may require a Master's level qualification in a relevant discipline for admission to a PhD. Professional qualifications other than a Bachelor's Degree and/or relevant and appropriate experience may be taken into account for entry to a PhD degree. Applicants for admission to PhD who do not meet the above criteria, but who hold a Bachelor's degree with Lower Second Class Honours or equivalent qualification, may be admitted to the degree of MPhil in the first instance. Following completion of one year's registration, candidates will be required to demonstrate, through a formal progress report and meeting that they have achieved a satisfactory performance in terms of a standard consistent with the award of the degree of MPhil, in order to be allowed to progress to year two of PhD registration. Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2013, the tuition fees are as follows: PhD (full-time) UK/EU students (per annum): 3,900 International students (per annum): Standard 16,500, Band 1 18,100, Band 2 18,800, Band 3 20,200 PhD (part-time) UK/EU students (per annum): 1,950 International students (per annum): Standard 8,250, Low 9,050, Medium 9,400, High 10,100 Please note for the majority of projects where experimentation requires further resource: higher fee bands (where quoted) will be charged rather than the base rate for supervision, administration and computational costs. The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs. All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of the course for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/fees/index.html] . Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your project. Scholarships/sponsorships: Funding Opportunities [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/funding/] .

Course description
Aerospace Research Group
[http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/aerospace/index.html]

This Group undertakes research directly relevant to the aerospace industry and also of a quite fundamental nature. Manchester has a distinguished history [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/hall/index.html] in turbulence modelling (from Osborne Reynolds to Brian Launder) and also in Fluids (e.g. Lamb and Goldstein), reflected in aerodynamics and heat transfer research today coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) allied to interests in Dynamics, Composite Structures and Aeroelasticity. There is strong industrial linkage with EADS, Airbus and the Group is a preferred academic partner for BAE Systems in experimental aerodynamics and dynamic loads. EU collaboration is particularly strong. There are excellent test facilities for dynamics and aerodynamics with large wind tunnels at the Goldstein Laboratory.

Course aims
A PhD [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/#phd] is the target of most postgraduate students who relish the opportunity to undertake a research project with intellectual, scientific, industrial or commercial challenges. Those from industrial backgrounds may also find it possible to partake in this level of graduate work, which is of particular value to the individuals training and development. Depending on your education and work experience you may register directly for a PhD Degree, however some students will initially register for an MPhil degree, where after one year if satisfactory progress is made you will progress onto the second year of a PhD. For both a direct PhD and MPhil-PhD degree the period of study would be three years full-time or the part-time equivalent. Students would also be permitted to register as a writing-up student for 12 months at the end of the degree to complete your dissertation.

This programme route is also available as a split-site option, which enables overseas students to split their studies between the UK and their home country. If a student would like to take this route a supervisor must be appointed in the UK and overseas, and confirmation of free time and study plan must be approved by both supervisors.

Open days
The date of the next University of Manchester Postgraduate Open Day [http://www.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/opendays/] is Wednesday 28 November 2012.

Full entry requirements


Academic entry qualification overview: A student may be admitted to a PhD degree only if an appropriate research environment is available for the duration of the degree.

English language: All applicants will need to demonstrate competency in the English language. Applicants who do not already posses a recognised English Language qualification will need to take a recognised test such as IELTS or TOEFL and attain a minimum of IELTS 6.5 ( with no sub test less than 5.5), TOEFL 570 with 5.0 in the TWE (Computer-based 230 or above or Internet-based 88-89 or above). Other English Language qualifications / tests can be considered including those offered by the University's English Language Teaching Centre [http://www.langcent.manchester.ac.uk/] Other international entry requirements: We accept a range of qualifications from different countries. For these and general requirements including English language see entry requirements from your country [http://www.manchester.ac.uk/international/country/]

Re-applications

If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry. In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved. We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.If you are applying for a place for the same year of entry through UCAS Extra, you should provide additional evidence of your suitability for the course. If you are applying through clearing you are required to meet the clearing requirements. In both UCAS Extra and clearing the places will be subject to availability.

Teaching and learning

The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is awarded by the University in recognition of the successful completion of a period of supervised research and training, the results of which show convincing evidence of the capacity of the candidate to pursue research and scholarship and make an original contribution and substantial addition to knowledge. The results of this research shall then be embodied in a thesis or other appropriate form and must contain material of a standard appropriate for peerreviewed publication. All candidates for the degree of PhD must undertake a skills audit at the beginning of their degree, and annually thereafter throughout their degree to determine their research, transferable and generic skills

requirements. The audit will provide the basis for a planned programme of skills training and development. The outcomes of the audit and programme of skills development must be agreed by the student and the supervisory team. The supervisory team will be responsible for ensuring that the student has access to the required skills training and development opportunities. Students admitted to the degree of PhD shall demonstrate satisfactory progress before the end of the first year of their research degree by submission of a substantial progress report which will be discussed at a formal progress meeting with the supervisory team and an independent assessor. Satisfactory performance in the report and progress meeting by those registered for MPhil in the first instance will normally result in transfer to registration for PhD.
