The A*STAR-University of Warwick Engineering Doctorate Partnership (AWP) provides a more industry-oriented doctorate compared to the traditional PhD.
The four-year scholarship programme with University of Warwick comprises two years of studies at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) in the UK, and two years of research-based studies in an A*STAR research institute.
The programme will help candidates develop vital skill sets in innovative thinking, rigorous analysis and good management practices to be a step ahead of the competition. Programme themes include aspects of manufacturing significant to the economy, such as 3D additive layer manufacturing, big data analytics, biomedical manufacturing, and robotics.
EngD candidates are evaluated on their portfolio, which comprises coursework, project reports, publications and a personal profile that demonstrate their innovation and project leadership abilities.
