Course content

Our EngD is an alternative to a traditional PhD aimed at students looking for a career in industry. Students spend about 75% of time working directly with a company in addition to receiving advanced-level training from a broad portfolio of technical and business courses.

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Photonics works with companies developing photonics-enabled products and services, from consumer technology and mobile computing devices to healthcare and security.

Each of our collaborations is built around an EngD or PhD student, providing them with masters-level technical and business qualifications, along with an industrially-connected doctoral research project.
