Future Innovation in Non-Destructive Evaluation

This Future Innovation in Non-Destructive Evaluation PhD programme from University of Bristol will be through a taught program to prove breath of technical coverage and a research programme to allow the research engineer to explore the subject in depth. The programme will be closely aligned with the current needs of industry in this area in the UK.

The programme will also contain taught modules on professional development and management training to equip the student with the skills require to manage projects and personnel. The research aspect of the course will give the student doctoral level training in research practice. This training will take place within an industrial environment with a strong academic input.

On completion of the programme successful students will have the qualities needed for higher levels of employment requiring the ability to make informed judgements on complex issues across many specialist fields of non-destructive evaluation. They will have also demonstrated innovation in tackling and solving problems.
