Starting in October 2014, the programme aims to train students across the full breadth of topics that modern sensor research encompasses, including physical concepts of sensing, sensor technologies, sensor-design principles, sensor networks, processing of sensory data, and sensor applications. This interdisciplinary programme will draw upon taught modules and academic programmes across several departments and institutes at Cambridge University, and is supported by a number of industrial partners including Alphasense, Shell, Rolls-Royce, Cambridge Display Technologies, Nokia and Costain. scholarship daily news in www.rightman.ir

We welcome applications from exceptional students from any field of Science and Engineering who have obtained a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent). They should possess an innovative approach to problem solving, well-developed technical skills, and possess the aptitude and aspiration to become world leaders in the field of sensor technologies and applications. scholarship daily news in www.rightman.ir

The programme is structured in two phases: a one-year taught MRes course followed by a three-year PhD research programme. The one-year MRes course will comprise of a foundational course in sensor technologies, taught modules and practicals, a guided sensor project and a team challenge conducted in collaboration with industrial partners. Upon successful completion of the first year (i.e. attainment of the MRes qualification, with a mark equivalent to at least an upper-second class qualification), students will be allowed to register for a PhD, choosing from approved project proposals offered by the approximately 50 participating academic PIs.
