THE DUKE DIFFERENCE

• World-class research with global impact in energy, automation, and health care
• Uniquely interdisciplinary environment—MEMS faculty and students work closely with collaborators within Duke’s Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, School of Medicine, and Nicholas School of the Environment, as well as with national and international collaborators at universities, in industry, and at national labs
• Financial support—Duke MEMS is committed to providing tuition, stipend, and health insurance for all PhD students. Also, MEMS provides travel and registration funds to support your participation in national and international conferences
• Internships—MEMS PhD students are encouraged to work with their advisors to explore industry internships. Course credit is available
• Engineering in Service to Society Fellowships—Through the generous support of the Lord Foundation, Duke MEMS PhD students can apply for funds to spend a semester gaining experience in the policy or nonprofit sector (international, national, or local). A number of national policy positions are available near campus
• Specialization with integrated coursework and research
• A broad mentoring network that includes your PhD advisor and an interdisciplinary mentoring team.
• Great location in a city known for tech, entrepreneurship and quality of life—Durham, N.C., is a vibrant city with both nationally-known restaurants and the large Eno River State Park for nearby hiking. Along with Chapel Hill (UNC) and Raleigh (NC State), it forms the Research Triangle region, which together are ranked #6 in Best Place to Live in the U.S. by U.S.News. 
• Excellent career outcomes—About 45% of our PhD students go on to academic careers, 55% go on to leadership in the public and private sectors.
