Course summary

As a researcher in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, students can benefit from specialist computational facilities, training programmes to enhance research skills, and support from dedicated academic supervisors. Students are supported and encouraged to submit papers to international scientific journals, present findings at conferences, and share knowledge with colleagues across the University. Research in the School follows two strands: computational physics/applied mathematics and pure mathematics. Research in applied mathematics is focused on developing numerical methods and algorithms for solving various equations found in materials science, specifically in nanomaterials. This includes advanced parallelisation and adaptation of the methods for modern supercomputers.

Modules

Main research areas include: numerical methods for non-liner partial differential equations in materials science and high performance computing in materials science.

Assessment method

A PhD is usually awarded based on the quality of the student’s thesis and ability to present and successfully defend their chosen research topic in an oral examination (viva voce). They are also expected to demonstrate how their research findings have contributed to knowledge or developed existing theory or understanding.


Entry requirements

First or upper second class honours degree in a relevant subject. If you are an overseas student, you may require an ATAS (Academic Technology Approval Scheme) certificate in order to enrol on this course. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/academic-technology-approval-scheme


Fees and funding

Tuition fees

No fee information has been provided for this course

Tuition fee status depends on a number of criteria and varies according to where in the UK you will study. For further guidance on the criteria for home or overseas tuition fees, please refer to the UKCISA website .

Additional fee information

Full time and part time postgraduate research students will be invoiced the published set fee each academic year enrolled, up to the point of thesis submission. Upon first enrolment, the full set fee is payable. Research students may be required to pay additional fees in addition to cover the cost of specialist resources, equipment and access to any specialist collections that may be required to support their research project. These will be informed by the research proposal submitted and will be calculated on an individual basis. Any additional fees will be outlined in your offer letter, prior to accepting your place at the University of Lincoln. All continuing students are required to re-enrol on their anniversary of their first enrolment. The relevant set full time or part time fee is payable by all continuing students on re-enrolment. A reduced 'writing-up' fee in the 12 month period prior to thesis submission may be applicable subject to your progress. After your Viva Voce examination, additional fees will be payable if a second Viva Voce examination is required. Research students may be required to pay additional fees in addition to cover the cost of specialist resources, equipment and access to any specialist collections that may be required to support their research project. These will be informed by the research proposal submitted and will be calculated on an individual basis. Any additional fees will be outlined in your offer letter, prior to accepting your place at the University of Lincoln.
