Course Summary

This industry-focused programme focuses on the principles, methods, techniques and technologies of sensor and imaging systems that underpin a vast range of needs in applications, from research to industry to medicine. The programme is designed for students looking to develop the skills and knowledge that will open up opportunities with the many companies developing sensor and image-based solutions. Sensing and sensor systems are essential for advances in research across all fields of physics, engineering and chemistry. These systems can be enhanced when multiple sensing functions are combined into arrays to enable imaging. Industrial applications of sensor systems are far-reaching, including: mass-produced sensors found in modern smartphones and cars state-of-the-art, specialist high-value sensors routinely used in oil and gas recovery, scientific equipment, machine tools, medical equipment and environmental monitoring This programme is delivered and awarded jointly by the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. The degree certificate is issued by the University of Glasgow, but with text and signatures from both universities to confirm the joint award.
