(1) Hi all, my first degree is in Chemical Engr and my MSc in safety Engineering and Risk Management. My ambition is to have PhD in a field that would enable me to exploit the two backgrounds i have. Which University can provide me such a basis in UK.

(2) what are the general procedures/steps for getting PhD admission?

Your response would be highly appreciated.
cheers

1) Your choice. You pick the project that interests you/supervisor you wish to work with.
2) Answer the advert/write off to people/do well in the interview

Aberdeen and Manchester both have strong Safety Engineering dept's.
Where did you get your Masters ?

I got it from Aberdeen,
Thanks alot:-)

In UK you can look for Sheffield, Heriott Watt , Aberdeen, Manchester. They all conduct research programmes in n Risk & Reliability Engineering. You need to talk to professor of the University who is working in your specialization and then make application. I wish you good luck.

As this old thread has resurfaced I'll take hte opportunity to let anyone who comes accross it know that they can search for Engineering PhD Programmes on FindAPhD
