You would normally have obtained a first, or upper second class, honours degree (or equivalent) in your undergraduate course.
We believe you will thrive in the Sensor CDT if you are:
- intellectually curious and interested to learn about science and technology beyond your core academic background
- eager to work in cross-disciplinary teams and to contribute to a community of doctoral students
- someone who aspires to create solutions to understand and improve our world
Entry is competitive and we are looking for aspiration as well as intellectual aptitude. You should possess an innovative approach to problem solving, well developed technical skills, a willingness to work in a cross-disciplinary research setting, and an aspiration to become a world leader in the field of sensor innovation. It is important that you are open to learning new skills which might lie outside the field of your undergraduate degree.
