Research in the School of Engineering, Computing, and Mathematics is organised into cross-cutting, interdisciplinary themes. Research is supported by the UK Research Councils and the European Commission, industry and charitable foundations and we have an excellent reputation for knowledge transfer.

## Research degrees

The school offers the following research degrees: MPhil, MPhil transferring to PhD, PhD direct (only for students who have recently completed a Master’s or MPhil degree in an area closely related to the proposed research topic) and a PhD by published work (only for students who have prior association with Oxford Brookes University). A MSc by research is also available within the School.

Completing a research degree with us means that you will have regular interaction with internationally recognised researchers. You will immerse yourself in a dynamic research environment and find various opportunities to contribute to wider research, teaching and funding proposals.
