PhD/MPhil Civil Engineering

City St George's, University of London

Conduct original research under the supervision of leading experts in one of our dedicated research groups. Access world-leading facilities for heavy structures and geotechnical centrifuge testing. The School of Science & Technology offers research degrees in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering and Structural Engineering. Whichever route you choose, you will conduct in-depth research alongside world-leading experts in Civil Engineering within one of four research groups: Civil Engineering Structures focuses on developing integrated solutions for sustainable and resilient structures under adverse operational and extreme loading conditions. Fluid-Structure Interaction addresses the challenges associated with marine engineering, offshore wind energy, high buildings and biomechanics. Multi-scale Geotechnical Engineering links micro-mechanics to the macro-response. Temporary Works and Construction Method Engineering addresses industry challenges associated with construction processes. The Full-time duration is 2 – 4 years; Part time: 3 – 7 years and PhD by prior publication: 1 – 2 years.
