PhD: Structural and Aerodynamic design of wind turbine blades made of intrinsically smart materials

Bournemouth University is committed to building on areas of academic strength through an ambitious and sustained programme of investment. Research in the School of Design, Engineering and Computing is organised around our research centres, each of which comprises both academic staff and research students.

THE DESIGN SIMULATION RESEARCH CENTRE, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY
is pleased to offer 2 of fully funded PhD studentships. Please note within the School of Design, Engineering and Computing that only one of these studentships will be offered to an overseas fee-based candidate and the remainder to Home/EU fee-based candidates.

Candidates for the fully-funded PhD studentship must demonstrate outstanding qualities and be motivated to complete a PhD in 3 years. All candidates must satisfy the School’s minimum doctoral entry criteria for studentships of: an honours degree at Upper Second Class (2.1) and/or an appropriate Masters degree. An IELTS (Academic) score of 6.5 minimum is essential for candidates for whom English is not their first language.

In addition to satisfying basic entry criteria, the Research Centre will look closely at the qualities, skills and background of each candidate and what they can bring to their chosen research project.
