This intensive four-year programme will:

• Progress global targets for the development of net-zero technology trained leaders through skills and knowledge-based training of suitably qualified researchers in science, engineering, social science and business aspects of sustainable green (including wind energy-based) hydrogen generation, use and storage.
• Deliver cross-disciplinary cohort-based specialist training harnessing co-support and co-learning opportunities using team-based problems provided by academic, industrial and civic partners.
• Provide, where appropriate, placements with stakeholders (industry, UKRI facilities, academia) who will host students and provide user-specific training.
• Equip students with the research and personal skills to design and carry out a research project, resulting in a thesis which will provide an original contribution to knowledge and work worthy of publication.
• Engage with local authorities, government and professional standards bodies to understand regulation requirements and lower barriers to adopting new technologies.
• Enhance customer confidence in the hydrogen energy vector through engaging different publics in new research and developing technologies.

University Regulations for Postgraduate Research study are set out in Regulation XXVI (Higher Degrees by Research).

Please see the Terms and Conditions of Study for detailed information on your contract with the University.

Students registering for the research degree programme in Engineering Hydrogen Net Zero (EnerHy) shall normally possess at least an upper second-class honours degree.

Registration shall be with effect from 1^st October.

This programme can be completed both full-time and part-time. Full-time students can register for 180 credits over their four-year programme, delivered by the Centre for Doctoral Training University partners.120 credits must be completed by the end of year one (R0), 150 credits must be completed by the end of year two (R1) and 180 credits may be completed by the end of year four (R3). For part-time students, they can register for 180 credits over eight years, two years of the part-time programme being equivalent to a single year of the full-time version. As described in the breakdown of the parts R0-R4 below.

Students may choose an additional 30 credits of elective modules over their period of study in addition to the 150 credits of compulsory material. The Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Hydrogen Net Zero (EnerHy) shall publish annually the lists of elective modules available and research students shall agree with their research supervisors which modules are suitable.

In addition to the taught modules, students shall be required to undertake specialised skills training modules, including UKRI EDI training, careers development, student led conferences and public engagement delivered through the Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Hydrogen Net Zero (EnerHy). Assessment of the skills training shall be conducted through the annual research report. Satisfactory completion of the specialised skills training will not lead to an award of the University. The Centre for Doctoral Training shall publish annually the specialised skills training required.

Students who have successfully completed part, or all of the taught components, but who subsequently do not complete the research requirements for the PhD may be awarded an exit award. Awards will be made in accordance with Regulation XXI and will be gained where students have accumulated the necessary credits for each award. Awards with Distinction and Merit will be awarded subject to exceeding the credit-weighted average described in Regulation XXI.
