The PhD Aerosol Science at the University of Bristol is designed for ambitious graduates with backgrounds in chemistry, physics, engineering, or biological sciences who aspire to become leading researchers in a field with profound impacts on human health, climate, and materials innovation. You will delve into the complex world of airborne particles, from nanometre to millimetre scales, addressing critical challenges such as disease transmission, drug delivery, air quality, and sustainable manufacturing. This programme offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge aerosol science, supported by a vast network of academic and industrial partners.
This full-time, on-campus PhD, typically studied over four years, begins with a comprehensive cohort-based training year at the University of Bristol. You will engage in intensive modules covering core aerosol science, computational tools, impact and translation, and environment and communication, alongside transdisciplinary learning. Following a short research project and a progression interview, you will embark on your PhD research, further enhanced by summer schools and professional events. You will graduate with advanced research skills and a deep understanding of aerosol science, prepared for impactful careers in academia, industry, and government sectors.
