The DPhil offered by this EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics provides graduates with the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge, understanding and expertise in this industrially key area. This is a joint programme between the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Loughborough, together with leading industrial partners in the field. In year one, all students study for a master’s degree in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics at the University of Cambridge. In years two to four, Oxford's students will undertake industrially-focussed projects at the Southwell (Osney) Laboratory in the Department of Engineering Science. You will be assessed continually throughout the first year at Cambridge during courses and projects, and will be formally examined in your MRes programme. At the end of your second year in Oxford, you will be required to write a report and give a presentation on your research, and to present a detailed and coherent plan for the research-intensive phase in the third and fourth years of your doctoral studies. Progress towards completion is again formally assessed some way into the final year of study. For the DPhil, you will be required to submit a substantial thesis which is read and examined by experts in the field, one from the department and one from elsewhere. Often the thesis will result in the publication of several journal and conference papers. The in-depth training and exposure to research problems of vital interest to industrial partners in the CDT in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics, along with the progressive increase of responsibility and external exposure, makes graduates from the CDT very well equipped for leadership roles in industry, both nationally and internationally.
