Research students are attracted to Bristol by the strength of our major research groups, details of which can be found at Postgraduate Research.
You will be working in flexible groupings of academic staff, many working across current discipline boundaries to explore novel areas, directed by world-leading researchers. The world-class research and enterprise arising from the work of these groups, including the very important contributions from our research students, develop a sustainable portfolio of activities that strengthens and underpins the Faculty and University's research base.
In addition to the technical expertise you develop through your research project, you will also receive professional training which will equip you to develop your career in industry or academia when you graduate. Many of our doctoral projects are run in very close partnership with industry, providing outstanding opportunities for all our PG students to develop a wide range of high-level skills and to start building their research and professional networks. We are a partner university of choice for many leading companies who are attracted to work with us because of the qualities of our students.
