Overview

The Tactile Internet for Tele-healthcare programme offered by King's College London has a long-standing partnership with joint PhD degrees in the areas of life sciences and medicine. This new degree is an effort to extend the fruitful partnership to the physical science and engineering areas, within the NMES faculty. The two communication engineering teams at King’s College London and Technische Universität Dresden also have a long-standing research collaboration outside the transCampus activities and partnership, and this joint PhD will further build on this collaborative research partnership.

Key Facts

All students enrolled in the Joint PhD programme will pay normal fees to their home university for the duration of their study (if that university charges fees). For the period that Dresden students will be studying at King’s College London, no fees will be charged by the university.
