Industry Focused PhD Opportunities and Programmes

Current PhD Opportunities

NSIRC PhD Studentships proide access doctoral funding opportunities in the UK and overseas. We understand that funding a PhD can be a significant barrier for many students, which is why we offer fully-funded studentships covering tuition fees and supporting living costs. Additionally, we can work with students to provide funding for a PhD and additional funding opportunities for students who require extra support.

PhD Topics Based on Urgent Calls for Research by Industry

We actively encourage applications from individuals with a wide range of perspectives and academic disciplines, recognising that diversity is crucial for driving innovation. Since being founded in 2012, we have been affiliated with over 45 universities across the UK and around the world, creating hot phd topics with the University of Cambridge, Brunel University of London, Lancaster University, Coventry University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and many more.

PhD Funding

In our full-time industrial programme, our PhD funding opportunities aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all students, regardless of their background or experience. In collaboration with leading industry partners at TWI and Lloyd's Register Foundation, our doctoral funding allows PhD students to work on cutting-edge research projects and gain valuable real-world experience that will be invaluable in their future careers. We offer a range of projects across various engineering research areas, from materials science to artificial intelligence, and our team is always available to provide advice and guidance on choosing the right project for your skills and interests.

In addition to doctoral funding, our topics provide a range of doctoral training and development opportunities to help our postgraduate researchers succeed. This includes workshops on research methods, project management, and presentation skills, as well as opportunities for networking and collaboration with other PhD students and industry professionals.
