Research degrees

Research students are welcomed to Brunel as valued members of our thriving, research-intensive community. A research degree provides the opportunity to investigate a topic in depth, and contribute new knowledge to your discipline.

Supervisors with insight

We strongly recommend that you identify and contact a potential supervisor and develop the research proposal together under the guidance of this member of staff, prior to making an application. Our supervisors create knowledge and advance understanding, and equip research students with the confidence to apply what they have learnt for the benefit of society.
