Qualifications and durations
- Full-time EngD 4 years
Overview
The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is an alternative to the traditional PhD for students who want a career in industry. A four-year programme combines PhD-level research projects with taught courses, and students spend about 75% of their time working directly with a company.
The EngD in Digital Media is run by the new Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE), a collaboration between the University of Bath, Bournemouth University and a host of industry partners across the computer animation, games and visual effects industries. The CDE has been awarded £6.3 million initial funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
