PEMC is delighted to be partnering with Newcastle University to host the Sustainable Electric Propulsion Centre for Doctoral Training. Funded by EPSRC and industry, the CDT will create a new generation of UK power electronics and electric drives specialists and leaders, who will ensure that the revolution of moving away from harmful fossil fuel propulsion progresses rapidly and successfully.
PhD students on the SEP CDT receive their doctorate after 4 years of research, plus enhanced and tailored training. Highlights of the programme include:
- Fusion-Training-Units - a revolutionary new training method combining technical knowledge with professional skills.
- Supervisor-on-Demand scheme - students will get support from their main academic and industrial supervisor and also from a pool of experts throughout training and research.
- A large choice of taught modules and laboratories - subjects in engineering, science, business tailored to students' needs.
