About ten per cent of our higher degree students work externally, employed full-time. We have particularly strong links with BT, the Defence Research Agency, London Underground Ltd and Kodak Ltd. Our research is funded roughly 50:50 by the EPSRC and industry/EU.
The School's Research Assessment Excercise rating is 5. Our current research grant and contract funding exceeds £4.5 millon. Research facilities include clean rooms for fabricating power hybrid and thick film power electronics devices, and microwave devices, a 10-kW induction motor test rig for developing new AC drive strategies, two microwave anechoice chambers, a large network of Sun workstaions, and the superconducting and laser ablation facilities described below. We also have Wolfson units for computer-controlled thermal measurements on semiconductor devices and for development of underwater transducers and systems.
