Automobiles with internal combustion engines generate a significant amount of carbon dioxide, which undertakes a major fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions. In order to lessen this impact on the environment, various technological progresses have recently been made on alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), which are mainly powered by electric motors.
Two most common types of AFVs in the global market are Hydrogen Fuel-cell Vehicle and Battery Electric Vehicle. As these AFVs differ in terms of energy source and storage, the fire characteristics/scenario of these vehicles are still under investigation. Subsequently, first responder’s training facilities and programmes are also required to simulate mock-up real cases.
This project, funded by the Korean National Fire Agency, is co-awarded with Korean national laboratories and international hybrid motor industries to establish Korean firefighters training platform in the case of AFVs’ fire.
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, a First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a subject relevant to the proposed area of study.
We may also consider applications from those who hold equivalent qualifications, for example, a Lower Second Class Honours Degree plus a Master’s Degree with Distinction.
In exceptional circumstances, the University may consider a portfolio of evidence from applicants who have appropriate professional experience which is equivalent to the learning outcomes of an Honours degree in lieu of academic qualifications.

This scholarship will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU and Overseas rate and a maintenance allowance of £15,285 per annum for three years (subject to satisfactory academic performance).
