Joining DMEM as a PhD student gains you access to our bespoke Leonardo Suite, a postgraduate research community area, including individual desks, group working areas, white boards, meeting rooms and a shared kitchen.
Additionally, within our department we have a range of specialist facilities, equipment and workshops to enable you to develop your research and tests. For example, the Digital Design and Manufacture Studio, and our Centre for Precision Manufacture, find out more about all of our facilities and equipment.
As part of your PhD degree, you'll be enrolled on the Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Professional Development (PgCert RPD).
This certificate is designed to support you with your research and rewards you for things you'll do as a research student here.
It'll help you improve skills which are important to professional development and employability:
- the knowledge and intellectual abilities to conduct your research
- the personal qualities to succeed in your research and chosen career
- the standards, requirements and conduct of a professional researcher in your discipline
- working with others and communicating the impact of your research to a wide range of audiences
All you have to do is plan these activities alongside your doctorate, documenting and reflecting your journey to success along the way.
