Research

Research in the School of Engineering, Computing, and Mathematics is organised into cross-cutting, interdisciplinary themes. Research is supported by the UK Research Councils and the European Commission, industry and charitable foundations and we have an excellent reputation for knowledge transfer.

Research degrees

The school offers the following research degrees: MPhil, MPhil transferring to PhD, PhD direct (only for students who have recently completed a Master’s or MPhil degree in an area closely related to the proposed research topic) and a PhD by published work (only for students who have prior association with Oxford Brookes University). A MSc by research is also available within the School.

Completing a research degree with us means that you will have regular interaction with internationally recognised researchers. You will immerse yourself in a dynamic research environment and find various opportunities to contribute to wider research, teaching and funding proposals.
