MRes (School of Engineering)

Robert Gordon University

RGU is committed to high quality, interdisciplinary, and internationally recognised research that impacts real-world challenges. Our research degree titles reflect the broad expertise of our academic staff, with whom you can discuss how to shape these ideas into doctoral research that reflects your interests and ambitions.

A doctoral research project is a big commitment. However, you will be highly supported by our dedicated Graduate School, with subject expertise from your supervisory team, and by a welcoming international community of over 300 doctoral students.
