MSc(R), DEng, DPhil

The MSc(R) degree requires a minimum of 3 terms residence and the DPhil a minimum of 6 terms. Usually it takes 6 and 9 terms respectively to complete these degrees and fees are payable for these periods unless the thesis is submitted earlier. Candidates are usually admitted to the Department to carry out research in topics of interest to the existing members of staff: when indicating your chosen area of research, try to list as many specific topics as you can rather than broad areas.

Before contacting the Department prior to submitting your application, please use this website to research our specialisms and those of your potential supervisor(s). Once you have done this, you can either contact the academic staff member directly for information on specific projects, or via postgraduate.admissions@eng.ox.ac.uk.

Apply for our Graduate Courses through the University of Oxford website.
