Overview

This new postgraduate course offers you the unique opportunity to join a cutting–edge MSc program created in conjunction with industry and delivered as a joint venture with the Muş Alparslan University, CERN RD51 Collaboration and Smartphotonics Company.

​

Detector and Sensor technologies have grown significantly in the last decade and has a huge impact on all areas of technology. They are very important for particle physics. They have also become integrated within the manufacturing, healthcare, security and automotive industries, in addition to emerging sectors including smart buildings, smart grids and integrated energy systems. 

​

The industry and research centers related to the detector and sensor technologies require more experts worldwide with knowledge, expertise and entrepreneurial skills to develop innovative solutions for this fast-paced industry.

​

This innovative new MSc will develop your relevant laboratory and theory expertise to understand, design and implement detector or sensor systems across a range of industrial sectors or academic works.  

​

During the MSc, you will:

• Develop an in-depth knowledge of detector and sensor related technologies and their uses in the wide variety of science and industries including automotive, healthcare, transport, security and energy.

• Gain knowledge and skills in product design and service idea creation in relation to sensors, detectors, communication and control technologies.

• Develop managerial methods and entrepreneurial skills in collaboration.

​

You will undertake a range of theoretical and practical elements including traditional lectures, hands-on laboratories, seminars, workshops and engagement with industry.  You will also have the opportunity to work on a significant project, in conjunction with industry, bringing together the themes of sensor technology and enterprise through the process of innovative research and development. 

The unique features of this programme enable you to qualify with a master's qualification as well as having developed a concept that can be taken forward post-graduation, enabling you to continue working with industry, start your own business or start commercial production. 

The programme runs from September and is set over a period of two years to enable sufficient time for knowledge and idea development.
