PhD in Chemical and Process Engineering - Advanced Engineering Materials (Colloid, Polymer and Crystal Engineering)

University of Leeds

To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors. A PhD is the most internationally recognised research qualification, and is the most commonly pursued research degree at Leeds. Typically, throughout your PhD you will undertake research in different stages across years one, two and three. However, your research degree may be longer depending on the project you have chosen.Our research group focuses on the fundamentals and applications of colloids and polymer systems. We are particularly interested in the behaviour of these systems in the bulk and at interfaces and in applying the fundamental knowledge to every day challenges faced by industry.
