EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Resilience in a Changing World (FIBE2)

 

Who are we looking for?

  • Successful applicants require high level engineering or science skills. We welcome candidates with a background in any engineering discipline (civil, mechanical, chemical, manufacturing, electrical, information and others) or relevant science discipline (including materials science, earth science, environmental science, computer science, mathematics, chemistry) as well as other relevant disciplines including architecture and project management. Some applicants may have industrial experience.
  • Students are expected to have a agood upper second class (2.1) or first class honours degree from a UK university or an equivalent standard from an overseas university.
  • Candidates must have completed at least a three-year degree. 
  • Entrance is competitive and successful applicants are likely to have high academic achievements.
  • Funding (fees+stipend) is available to students who are eligible for ESPRC awards. However, the programme has some flexibility and discretion to support the very best students (1 student per intake) wherever they may come from (EU, international or otherwise) so there may well be opportunities arising for those individuals who would not normally meet the eligibility requirements for EPSRC funding. 
 

The University of Cambridge is committed in its pursuit of academic excellence to equality of opportunity and to a proactive
and inclusive approach to equality, which supports and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity.
