PhD Statistics
Statistics is the discipline of reasoning under uncertainty: designing studies, estimating quantities from samples, testing claims and quantifying how much confidence a result deserves. Probability theory underpins it, and computing makes it practical on real data. Graduates often work in analytics, research, finance, public health, government and quality assurance.
PhD Social and Behavioural Science
Behavioural genetics investigates how inherited variation and environment together influence behaviour, temperament and cognitive traits. The work combines laboratory and statistical methods, from family and population designs to molecular analysis, alongside careful thinking about what such findings can and cannot show. Graduates often continue in research, clinical science, biotechnology or data-focused roles.
PhD Engineering and Engineering Trades
Education explores how people learn, and how teaching, curriculum, assessment and school systems shape that learning. The subject draws on psychology and sociology while staying close to what happens in classrooms and institutions. Graduates often work in teaching and training, curriculum development, educational research, policy and administration.
PhD Business and Administration
Business administration concentrates on running an organisation as a whole: coordinating people, budgets, operations and strategy so that separate departments work in step. Attention falls on decisions that cut across functions rather than on a narrow specialism. Graduates often move into general management, operations, consulting, and planning or administrative roles across sectors.
PhD Building
Civil engineering covers the design, construction and maintenance of the built environment: buildings, bridges, roads, water supply, drainage and other infrastructure. Mechanics, materials and structural analysis combine with project planning and constant attention to safety and cost. Graduates often work in design consultancies, construction, transport, and water or environmental engineering.
MSc Petroleum Engineering
Petroleum engineering deals with finding, recovering and producing oil and gas from underground reservoirs. Students study rock and fluid behaviour, drilling and well design, production systems, and the economics and environmental questions that surround energy extraction. Graduates often work with energy operators, service and equipment companies, consultancies or research groups.
MSc International Business Management with Marketing
Marketing studies how organisations understand customers and bring products and services to them, spanning research, branding, pricing, distribution, advertising and digital channels. The work blends creative thinking with data about behaviour. Graduates often work in brand and product management, digital marketing, market research, advertising, and sales or communications.
MSc Business Strategy, Leadership and Change
Business examines how organisations are created, financed, run and grown, from managing people and money to reading markets and making decisions under uncertainty. Coursework blends analysis with practical judgement. Graduates often move into management, consulting and entrepreneurship, or into specialist roles across finance, operations and marketing.
MEng Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering deals with machines and moving systems: how forces, materials, heat and fluids behave, and how to design and manufacture things that work reliably. Modelling, simulation and laboratory testing support the design process. Graduates often work in manufacturing, automotive and aerospace sectors, energy, robotics, and product design or testing.
MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Electronic engineering deals with circuits and the devices built from them, from sensors and amplifiers to embedded processors and communication systems. It covers analogue and digital design, signal processing, and the testing of hardware that must work reliably. Graduates often work in electronics design, telecommunications, semiconductors, instrumentation and embedded systems.
MEng Civil Engineering
Civil engineering covers the design, construction and maintenance of the built environment: buildings, bridges, roads, water supply, drainage and other infrastructure. Mechanics, materials and structural analysis combine with project planning and constant attention to safety and cost. Graduates often work in design consultancies, construction, transport, and water or environmental engineering.
MEng Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering scales chemistry up from the flask to the plant, designing the reactors, separation units and control systems that turn raw materials into fuels, medicines, food and materials. Thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat transfer and process safety are core. Graduates often work in energy, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food processing and environmental engineering.
MBA Master of Business Administration
Business administration concentrates on running an organisation as a whole: coordinating people, budgets, operations and strategy so that separate departments work in step. Attention falls on decisions that cut across functions rather than on a narrow specialism. Graduates often move into general management, operations, consulting, and planning or administrative roles across sectors.
MA International Business Management

Attention falls on decisions that cut across functions rather than on a narrow specialism. Graduates often move into general management, operations, consulting, and planning or administrative roles across sectors.
MA Business and Finance
Finance concerns how money is raised, invested and managed, and how risk and return are priced over time. Topics run from corporate funding decisions and valuation through to markets, portfolios and financial instruments. Graduates often work in corporate finance, banking, investment and asset management, risk analysis and financial planning.
MA Accounting and Business Finance
Accounting deals with how financial information is recorded, verified and reported so that decisions can be made and organisations held to account. Study covers financial and management accounting, auditing, taxation and reporting rules. Graduates often work in accountancy practice, corporate finance teams, audit, tax, and financial management or analysis.
BSc (Hons) Statistical Data Science
Data science turns large and messy datasets into something useful, combining statistics, programming and machine learning with the judgement to ask sensible questions. Storage, processing at scale and clear communication of results all matter. Graduates often work as data scientists, analysts or data engineers across technology, finance, health and public services.
BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying
Civil engineering covers the design, construction and maintenance of the built environment: buildings, bridges, roads, water supply, drainage and other infrastructure. Mechanics, materials and structural analysis combine with project planning and constant attention to safety and cost. Graduates often work in design consultancies, construction, transport, and water or environmental engineering.
BSc (Hons) Psychology with Management
Psychology studies mind and behaviour: perception, memory, development, personality, mental health and how people act within groups. It is an empirical discipline, so designing research and interpreting evidence sit at its centre. Graduates often work in mental health services, research, education, human resources, user research and social services.
