MSc and PG Diploma in High Power Radio Frequency Science and Engineering
The Department of Physics' lively research environment ensures that a breadth of relevant up-to-date expertise is brought to the teaching. In particular, the department hosts one of the world's leading laboratories in High Power Microwave Generation, Transport and Application (RELD). Staff in this laboratory offer a postgraduate level course leading to the degree of MSc or PG Diploma in High Power Radio Frequency Science and Engineering (MSc).
This degree has a long track record of successful study by international students and applicants are invited to apply here for the next academic year. The degree is targeted at candidates holding a first degree (BSc, BEng, MSci, MEng) in physical science, mathematics or engineering, aiming to develop their skills and employment opportunities in this important area of international industry. Other qualifications may be considered on a case by case basis, including relevant industrial experience.
The curriculum has six instructional modules and an independent research project and runs from October each year until September the following year. The instructional classes are structured for intensive delivery to allow candidates to attend by release from industry. In these cases the candidates would usually conduct their research project in alignment with their employment.
The degree has a strong alignment with the needs of industry, guided by an industrial steering committee and as a result it has a good track record of students gaining employment directly associated with the expertise gained in the MSc.
