Advanced Product Design Engineering MSc: Research areas

Many academic staff are engaged in a range of research and consultancy activities funded by the Research Councils, the European Union, the government, trade unions and industry. These activities ensure our staff are in touch with the latest industry thinking and bring best practice to your studies.

Research in the Faculty is organised into three research centres, which provide focus and encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas.

• the Applied Engineering Research Centre looks at applied engineering, manufacturing and material processing topics;
• civil engineering research in the Sustainable Technology Research Centre includes land use, re-cycling waste materials and efficient energy use; and
• the Aerospace Research Group specialises in space activities ranging from electric propulsion and planetary robotic exploration to in-orbit servicing technology development.

You may be able to publish any research you undertake on the Kingston University Research and Innovation Reports (KURIR) website. This site gives anyone associated with Kingston University the opportunity to publish articles, which will be permanently available to the academic community.
