Engineering: Fully Funded EngD Scholarship at Swansea: Development of Silicon Carbide devices for Phd

Eligibility Criteria

We welcome applications from candidates with an Engineering or Physical Sciences degree (minimum level 2:1), or a combination of degree and equivalent experience to the same level.

An electrical engineering background is necessary to understand the circuit operation/components of the TBU. Knowledge of device physics is also preferable since design of the TBU’s semiconductor components will be required.

Most importantly, the candidate must be a team player with a professional attitude, willing to share their results with fellow industrial partners and academics. The successful candidate must be prepared to travel to the industrial partner (Bourns Ltd., Bedford, UK), monthly if necessary and be comfortable with presenting their latest results.

Normally, we would expect candidates to have met the University’s English Language requirements (e.g. IELTS 6.5 overall with 5.5+ in each component) by point of application. For details on the University’s English Language entry requirements, please visit our website for more information.

Due to funding restrictions, this scholarship is open to UK/EU candidates only.
