School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering

The School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast have several PhD studentships available with a tax free stipend up to £18,500 for outstanding applicants.

This is a really exciting time for anyone considering a career in research within our School. We have two Doctoral Training Centres in ‘Healthcare Technology’ and ‘Simulation Intent’ in collaboration with some of the biggest engineering and medical device companies in the world. These companies have signed up to be involved in this new initiative, where one of the major aims is to provide training for PhD students in skills that they require in senior engineering positions, within their company. They will have an active role in the projects in terms of the training of the researcher and the exploitation of their results.

Outside of the DTC’s we also have some exciting multidisciplinary projects in collaboration with the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
