Research students
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering, Computing & Creative Industries (FECCI) research students' website
Prospective Students
FECCI provides a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for its 100+ research degree students.
See the list of current PhD titles for an overview of research areas.
Browse the links to our three schools to explore the range of research activity in your field of study. Academic staff are always glad to respond to your questions and a visit can be arranged to discuss your research ideas more fully. Not sure who to email? Contact the Faculty Research Training Co-ordinator.
To apply for admission as a research student or read about fees and regulations, visit Napier’s Research Degrees Team.
This site will give you an impression of the research culture in the Faculty and of the transferable skills training our students enjoy. We look forward to hearing from you.

A PhD is no longer simply the pursuit of an isolated piece of independent research. At Napier University we embrace the Research Councils' broader emphasis on transferable skills and employability. Find our schedule of training activities for 2009/10 under Events and related resources under Materials.
We have an annual FECCI Research Students' Conference in May. Browse the previous proceedings and watch for the next call for participation. The Schools link is where local activities such as seminars and research group meetings are advertised.
Your comments and suggestions on the contents and usability of this web site are always welcome.
