Doctoral Training Centre - Photonics Systems Development

A new Research centre formed by UCL and the University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL) have recently established an exciting new Doctoral Training Centre in Photonic Systems Development, leveraging their current strong collaborations in research and innovation. The Centre provides doctoral training using expertise drawn from a range of disciplines including: Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, Computer Science, Physics, Medical Physics, Nanotechnology, Bioengineering/Biotechnology and Business. It will collaborate closely with a wide range of UK industries and uses innovative teaching and learning techniques. This new form of Doctoral Centre, it is believed, will create graduates with the skills and confidence able to drive future technology research, development and exploitation, as photonics becomes fully embedded in electronics-based systems applications ranging from communications to sensing, industrial manufacture and biomedicine.

We currently have funding available for UK and EU students eligible for Engineering and Physical Sciences Council (EPSRC) awards for students to start in September. We expect demand for the limited number of places on this programme to be very high and strongly recommend potential applicants complete the Pre-Application Screening Form.
