Course Summary

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. We are a vibrant research community with a passion for understanding the physical and chemical processes that occur in functional interfaces. Surfaces and their relationship with the environment often dictate how an engineering system performs. We recognise that processes at the nanoscale can affect performance through to the macro scale.Lowering the friction between surfaces through improved coatings improves the reliability of engineering components, and creates benefits in many walks of life. Our Surface Engineering research brings improvements in many sectors, from automobile and aerospace, to biomedical and agricultural industries. At the centre of our Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) and Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PVED), surface engineering activity is the state-of-the-art multi-functional platform. Our vision for this equipment is to drive innovation in the science of future hybrid functional surfaces, and to provide industry with a playground to try new solutions for their current functional surface challenges. We have expertise in the design, selection and implementation of the appropriate surface engineering solution for a wear, corrosion, fouling, optical or decorative challenge.
