Engineering Doctorate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a postgraduate degree awarded by twenty universities[1] in the United Kingdom. It is a doctoral research degree which combines traditional, PhD study with full time working for an industrial sponsor. This mix of study and employment means that the degree takes four years to complete, whereas a traditional PhD takes only three.[2] The EngD program began in 1992 with the first graduations in 1996 and is run by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).[2]
Students pursuing EngDs, called Research Engineers, spend about three-quarters of their time working with the industrial partner and are supervised jointly by academics from their university and employees at the company. There are also taught training courses that are assessed as a component of the degree course.[2] The minimum level of grant received by EngD students is £1500 higher than that received by EPSRC-funded PhD students.[3]
