Course Overview

Salford is a prominent UK centre for civil engineering research. With internationally-recognised output in engineering, built environment, and environmental studies,our Civil Engineering Research Group combines a wealth of experience, supported by high-calibre academics and first-class facilities.

If you are looking to take your academic interest in civil engineering further, a research degree offers you the flexibility to conduct your own research project with academic supervision. At Salford, you have the opportunity to study towards a Masters by Research (MRes), a Master of Philosophy (MPhil), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Our civil engineering research opportunities are focused on four main themes, aligned with core elements of the civil engineering curriculum: structural engineering, transport engineering, geotechnical engineering, and hydraulics.

Current civil engineering research topics include:

  • Wetlands and Sustainable Drainage

  • Structures and Geotechnical Engineering

  • Transport

  • Masonry Arch Structures

You will:

  • Research a broad range of fields in civil engineering, including structures, geotechnics, transport planning and bridge loads

  • Undertake research around an area from your own profession and develop solutions that can be implemented in the workplace

  • Earn a doctorate-level degree to take you further in your current career or provide a gateway into a research career

General Eligibility

Standard entry requirements

  • Applications for the PhD must have a minimum of an upper second class undergraduate degree in engineering, environmental science, or a related applied sciences degree. A Masters degree is preferred but not essential. Applicants without a Masters degree must provide evidence of previous research methods training.

  • Applicants for the MRes or MPhil degree programmes must have a minimum of a lower second class undergraduate degree, or relevant experience.

  • On your application form, you should include two referees who can comment on your suitability to study at postgraduate level, and you should also indicate a preferred research area or the title of a specific project, where appropriate. You must also indicate the type of financial support you have (or require).
