Location of University of Oxford

The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford is the only unified department in the UK which offers accredited courses in all the major branches of engineering - our students develop a broad view of the subject much appreciated by employers, but can also choose from a very wide range of specialist options.

Every year the Department of Engineering Science, one of the largest departments in the University, produces around 160 new engineering graduates. They go off to a huge variety of occupations - into designing cars, building roads and bridges, developing new electronic devices, manufacturing pharmaceuticals, into healthcare and aerospace, into further study for higher degrees and in many other directions.

Some of our graduates also develop their managerial, financial or entrepreneurial skills, and go into commerce, financial services, or start their own companies.

The advanced research degrees which may be awarded to graduate students in the Department are Master of Science (MSc) by research and Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil).

For the MSc by research, fees are payable for up to six terms, with a minimum of three terms in residence and for the DPhil, fees are payable for up to nine terms, with a minimum of six terms in residence.

In practice it is unusual to complete the MSc by research in less than two years or the DPhil in less than three. Candidates admitted to the Department for these degrees must carry out research in a topic of direct interest to at least one member of the academic staff.

There are opportunities for research over a wide range of engineering disciplines, including:
