Doctoral training is central to our vision, driving innovation and addressing skills gaps in the Automotive Industry. Each year we will enrol at least 10 new students into our four-year Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (AAPS) training programme, thanks to generous funding from EPSRC and the University of Bath.<br><br>By joining us on the AAPS CDT programme you will undertake a transdisciplinary training programme where you'll be at the centre of generating new and holistic ideas in automotive propulsion. You'll develop detailed knowledge in your chosen subject area alongside colleagues working across a broad spectrum of challenges facing the Industry.<br><br>Our programme integrates a one-year MRes with a three to four-year PhD to give you comprehensive training and detailed knowledge in your chosen specific subject area alongside colleagues working across a broad spectrum of challenges facing the Industry. <br>During the MRes year you will develop your foundation knowledge of the challenges facing the automotive sector as well as developing commercial and management skills together as a cohort, inherently learning how to work as part of, as well as leading, a team.<br>After successful completion of the MRes stage, you will proceed to the three to four-year PhD research phase. You can take the PhD phase part time with the whole programme lasting a total of seven years. After successful completion of the MRes stage, you will proceed to the PhD research phase and follow a project formulated during the MRes. This PhD project may be formulated entirely during the MRes year or be prescribed at the point of application by a sponsoring industrial partner. In the PhD phase you will have research, and the preparation of a thesis, as your main focus. In your PhD work, you will create an original piece of research, and new knowledge, in your specific research topic within the broader field of Automotive Propulsion Systems.
