The MRes course consists of taught and research components, giving students from all disciplines a solid foundation to be able to conduct a PhD-level research project in sensors.
Taught components
Taught components of the MRes course take place in Michaelmas term. They teach the theory and design of the main groups of sensors, techniques in data analysis and machine learning, and skills required to be a responsible researcher.
There are three taught modules:
- Principles of Sensing
- Machine Learning for Data Intensive Science
- Responsible Research and Inclusive Innovation in an Uncertain World
Research components
Research components of the MRes course take place during the rest of the year (Lent, Easter and Summer terms). They provide key technical knowledge and research skills to carry out cutting-edge sensor research. They allow our students to experience the nature of scientific research and prepare them for their PhD project. As our students come with different scientific backgrounds these activities have a strong peer-to-peer learning element in a supportive environment.
There are three research modules:
