Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

If you’re ready to take your existing expertise and knowledge in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering into a postgraduate research degree, University of Portsmouth is the perfect place to do it.

From the phone in your pocket, to the train you take on your morning commute, much of everyday life relies on the work of engineers.

Our current research in  Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Electrical and Mechanical Engineering  at University of Portsmouth University of Portsmouth searches for creative and practical engineering solutions to some of society’s most-pressing issues – and when you join us to study for a postgraduate research degree, you’ll have the opportunity to make your own contribution to the pioneering work we’re doing, and play a part in transforming our research into impact.

Support and facilities

When you join us, you’ll be supported by our Graduate School, alongside your assigned supervisory team, who’ll help you get the most from our facilities. The Graduate School will help you become part of our thriving, collaborative research community, and help grow your skills as a researcher through the Graduate School Development Programme, which offers training, workshops and events.

We have facilities to carry out mechanical testing including tensile testing, fatigue, impact in a temperature controlled environment, and we’re equipped with a large suite of 3D printers including a multi material 3D printer and a laser sintering machine. We also have a water jet cutter, a 5 axis CNC machine and can perform 3D X-ray investigation, su-micron resolution (voxel size 70nm), via the Zeiss Xradia 510 Versa and the 520 Versa.
