Postgraduate research study

There is no better time to join us!

Our vision is to engage PhD, post-doctoral and industry researchers in AI and machine perception across the UK in high-quality training and networking with industry to ensure that the UK leads the future development of this field.

Our training programme enables PhD students to gain the research skills needed to obtain an internationally-recognised PhD including:

• Multi-disciplinary knowledge of the fundamental science and practical application of multi-sensory machine perception
• Experience of applying their research in industry and the public sector to real-world challenges and data; understanding of responsible research and innovation
• Transferable skills such as entrepreneurship and communication, including engineering competence skills suitable for professional registration (EurIng, CEng)
• An open science approach to research, through open publication of research papers, data and software
• Entrepreneurial and innovation-oriented attitude through exposure to SME and spin-off companies in our network.

CVSSP is a destination of choice for postgraduate talent and it is part of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

What we offer

• Cohort-based research training with training weeks on transferable skills, science schools on research topics and facilitated sandpits for agile cross-disciplinary team solution to industry challenges
• Individual research training to develop in- depth research experience and specific skills tailored for the individual and their personal career development plan
• Opportunities for engagement with non-academic industry and user partners throughout the research programme incl. project design, training in industrial practice and industrial secondments. The learning objective is to ensure that all PhD researchers gain a cross-disciplinary understanding of both the fundamental science and real-world application of multi-sensory machine perception.
