Integrated PhD Studentship in Nuclear Engineering at University of Leeds, UK

There will be a minimum of three funded PhD studentships available per year, commencing September 2011. We envisage that additional studentships will be available depending on the level of industrial support within the programme. Students will be enrolled on an integrated 4 year MSc/PhD degree programme. You will complete the taught components during the first 2 years and the programme will include core nuclear skills modules plus some options that will be chosen for their relevance to your specific research project. The mini-research project will precede the student starting on the PhD component of the integrated degree. The student will be given a topic that is strongly industry led and that will typically involve one or more study periods in an industrial environment.
