Sheet · Intake

Postgraduate study

An MSc or PhD on a problem a real plant has. 82 postgraduates supervised so far, 32 working now.

V-301

  1. Industry-linked topics

    Plenty of our theses begin as a client’s question: a corrosion coupon from PETRONAS, an earthing problem from TNB, a sludge nobody wants.

  2. Supervised by PEs

    Every supervisor is a registered Professional Engineer with live research grants.

  3. Publish, then travel

    Students publish in indexed journals and work with partners in Australia, the UK and Saudi Arabia.
