PhD Postgraduate research opportunities in Electronics and Electrical Engineering

Liverpool John Moores University

Course overview

The PhD Postgraduate Research in Electronics and Electrical Engineering at Liverpool John Moores University is for students who want to study and gain advanced knowledge in engineering. Students work alongside expert staff in a research centre that looks at electronics, machines, microelectronics, sensors, and forensic technology. Students can study for up to four years full-time, or longer if part-time or working on the MPhil route. Students pick a topic in areas like sensors, battery control, electric drives, microchips, or forensic audio and video.

 

The university has the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Research Centre for help and guidance. They often work with companies or use lab facilities and design their own project, with help from a supervisor. Many students share their findings at conferences and in technical journals. Learning happens in labs, meetings, and events where students learn how to do research and write papers. Assessment depends on project progress, so students are encouraged to give updates, write reports, and present findings. At the end, students write a thesis with original research.
