An Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Studentship with a focus on Water Engineering is available in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London starting in October 2013. The studentship is funded through the STREAM Industrial Doctorate Centre for the UK Water Sector. This unique 4-year studentship allows doctoral-level research to be conducted while working directly with an industrial partner in the water sector. The programme will also allow the participant to receive postgraduate-level technical and transferable skills training at five leading UK universities in the water research field.

Research
Our research has an excellent reputation in Britain and internationally. The Department has always achieved the top score in Research Assessment Exercises which have been undertaken in the UK higher education sector approximately every five years since 1986. In the most recent assessment, the results of which were announced in November 2008, the Department again achieved the highest rating, recognising the Department as the best in the UK.

Many staff hold research grants funded by Industry, Research Councils and the EU, and most have close links with engineering practice through consulting work and research on industrially-related problems. Many also participate in the formulation of codes of practice and in providing technical advice to companies, governments and government agencies worldwide.
