Engineering

A Master's by Research (MSc) in Engineering from University of Huddersfield allows you to undertake a one year (full-time) research degree. It contains little or no formal taught component. This type of study gives you the chance to explore a research topic over a shorter time than a more in-depth doctoral program.

Research Engineering Master's students from University of Huddersfield choose a specific project to work on and have a greater degree of independence in their work than is the case with a taught Master’s course.

Key facts

• You’ll be expected to work to an approved program which you will develop in conjunction with your supervisor within the first few months of starting your studies. Whilst undertaking the research project you will also develop your research skills by taking part in training courses and events.

• You will be appointed a main supervisor who will normally be part of a supervisory team, comprising up to three members. The research supervisor will advise and support you on your project. At the end of the project, you write up your findings in the form of a short thesis of around 25,000 words, which will then be examined.

• On successful completion, you will be awarded your degree and if you have enjoyed this taste of research, you may then decide to apply for the full research doctoral degree (PhD).

Courses include:

• A Semi-Analytical Approach to Determining Velocity Profiles in the Near to Middle Distance Behind A Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
• Assistive Technology - Use of 3D audio to improve quality of life.
• Characterisation of Multi-component and Multi- phase flows through complex industrial systems.
• Characterisation of the dynamic behaviour of vortex rings to optimise the cooling process in a prilling tower.
• Correlation Analysis of Heaviness and Clarity in Metal Music Production
• Development of a Computational Fluid Dynamics based model for online monitoring of pollution leak for risk mitigation
• Development of a non-invasive flow metering system for the single phase and multiphase flow measurement.
