Students will be provided with the opportunity to develop essential industry desirable transferable skills such as critical thinking, analysis, problem solving and IT.

The programme comprises a taught component followed by a longer research phase. Taught modules allow the students to broaden, as well as deepen, their knowledge of research methods at the same time as undertaking their own research and developing a set of transferable professional skills. Doctoral researchers will be capable of analysing a range of data using a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques. They will be able to explain theories underlying different approaches to social science research.

As a PhD student, you will be required to be highly motivated, well organised, prepared to learn your subject in depth, and able to engage constructively and critically with a range of academic research related to your topic to complete an independent research project.

COURSE SUMMARY

You will study the following modules:

Analytical Methods in Engineering

This course introduces postgraduate PhD students to the essential analytical methods needed to solve Electrical and Electronics Engineering problems; The goal is to substantially

broaden the analytical and computational horizons of the students, and thereby enable them to solve practical engineering design problems and perform research in the field
 

Computational Intelligence Technique

Students will study logic control, neural networks and genetic algorithms and applications to control systems.
 

Advanced Research and Development Technique

The aim of the course is to provide students with the methodological skills necessary for them to carry out independent research. Throughout the year, methodological and design considerations are integrated with statistical techniques.
 

Seminar

This module prepares students to write research papers and confidently present in class.

Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering course aims to impart to students the necessary academic knowledge and practical skills required for a career in this industry.
