The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing (CSM) is led by Cardiff University in partnership with the University of Manchester, University of Sheffield, and University College London. We offer a unique programme that provides a holistic understanding of the entire manufacturing process as well as expertise in at least one stage. We believe that this approach is key to developing you as a future leader of compound semiconductor manufacturing, whether you choose to pursue a career in industry or academia or both. The first year of our programme is based on an MSc in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Physics or Electronics, depending on the student’s interest and background, with additional cohort training and seminars. PhD projects, which may be based at any of the four partner universities, are developed during the first year.
