About Mechanical and Systems Engineering, MPhil - at Newcastle University

Overview

Research degrees are offered through four research groups:

bioengineering
MEMS and sensors
fluid dynamics and thermal systems
design, manufacture and materials.

As a postgraduate researcher you'll join as a junior academic colleague rather than a student. You'll play a full and professional role in contributing to the School of Engineering’s goal of international academic excellence.

To develop your research capabilities you'll be supported by:

the School
the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering
your supervisory team.

We will help you progress with your higher degree. You'll gain a unique skill set, through:

international conference attendance
research paper submissions.

NewRail

NewRail is our centre for railway research at Newcastle University. It is part of the design, manufacture and materials research group. Through this centre you have the opportunity to research train movement:

organisation
management
economics.

The subject looks at innovative concepts for sustainable rail transport. It focusses on:

system services
production patterns
rail system designs.

Your scientific work will contribute to the modernisation of the rail sector as a whole. You'll integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines, such as:
