The College of Engineering at Swansea University is delighted to introduce the second round of the prestigious Zienkiewicz Scholarships. These scholarships are named to honor Professor O.C. Zienkiewicz (1921-2009) who was a pioneer in the area of finite element method. Professor Zienkiewicz’s work originated at Swansea University, revolutionised the engineering industry, and is now widely used across the aerospace, chemical, civil, medical, material and manufacturing industries.
5-8 scholarships are expected to be awarded for full PhD study in Engineering or Sport and Exercise Science at Swansea University’s brand new Bay Campus.
The College of Engineering is recognised internationally for cutting-edge research. 94% of research produced by academic staff is of world-leading or internationally excellent quality. We are a top 10 ranked UK College of Engineering with our Research Environment in the UK ranked second behind Cambridge University. The impact of our Engineering research is ranked 10th in the UK. The Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 ranks Sports and Exercise Science at Swansea as 5th in the UK for its Research Impact and 15th in the UK for the overall quality of its research.
These scholarships are designed to fund the next generation of research leaders. The intention is for PhD studies to lead to potential RCUK fellowship applications. Zienkiewicz scholars will be expected to produce REF 2020 quality publications during their PhD.
