Overview
A PhD is an advanced supervised piece of individual research. There are no lectures, no modules and no coursework. You will be assessed by your original contribution to knowledge through the submission of a thesis and defence at viva.
Our research projects cover radiowave propagation, radio system planning and wireless channel characterisation for applications in future generation fixed and mobile communication networks.
Facilities
Our electrical and electronics labs offered during the Electronic Engineering programme at the University of South Wales have industry-standard tools and software. Staff are committed to exploring new ideas to improve existing systems, such as medical equipment, and mobile and satellite communications.
The optoelectronics and RF facilities are composed of two optoelectronics laboratories and two RF equipped with £1million worth of experimental equipments and modelling facilities.
