We welcome applications from scientists and engineers in all relevant fields who have an interest in any of our research areas. The primary sectors addressed by our research include energy conversion, environmental protection, transport, electronics/optoelectronics, healthcare... and much more!

As a PhD student, you will have access to our first-class facilities and benefit from strong support and involvement from industrial organizations. This close collaboration with industry ensures that our Department remains at the forefront of Materials Science and Engineering research.

A fully funded scholarship in the Department of Materials covers tuition fees for both home and, in some cases, overseas students, as well as providing stipends to support living expenses. These scholarships are designed to offer talented research students the opportunity to work in their chosen fields with the guidance and support of a dedicated supervisor.
