A member of staff, expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. As a research student in the Production and Manufacturing Engineering at London South Bank University you'll become part of our thriving academic community.
A PhD, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team.
