Location of University of Strathclyde
Production, amplification transmission and application of high frequency and high power radio frequency and microwave signals is an area of enormous importance to a range of scientific and industrial activities.
Examples include the secondary heating of Fusion Plasmas (by ECRH or Lower Hybrid drive), generation of plasmas for industrial processing of materials, microwave curing of ceramics, telecommunications, RaDAR and particle acceleration for medical and scientific applications. A substantial industrial base exists in the UK supporting this requirement. To better facilitate the development of this field these industries have joined with academic partners to create the Faraday Partnership in High Power RF. Industry has identified a recruitment requirement for students with a solid foundation in this area of science.
The Physics Department of the University of Strathclyde has established a course formed of a coherent set of modules to fulfill this requirement and leading to the award of the Degree of MSc, the Postgraduate Diploma or the Postgraduate Certificate in High Power Radio Frequency Science and Engineering.
Contents
The course will consist of a taught element and a research project, and has been structured to make it suitable for students already in industrial appointments as well as those taking the course independently.
The taught classes will occur in six modules of intensive study each of two weeks in duration each consisting of lectures, tutorials and practical sessions. Candidates already in positions with industry will normally conduct the research project at their place of work, other candidates may have the opportunity of undertaking research at industrial research facilities, otherwise they will conduct research associated with the Universities research programme in this field.
Candidates who are in employment may take the course over a two or three year period on a part time basis. The assessment of the taught modules will be achieved by means of a combination of coursework and written examination. The individual research project will contribute 50% of the MSc and will be assessed on the basis of the candidates benchwork and dissertation, the production of a paper in a format suitable for publication in a relevant research journal and a presentation to the peer group.
Candidates may be required to submit to a Viva-Voce examination. Detailed curriculum information and dates for the modules are available. Individual modules may also be taken as short courses independently of the degrees. A course handbook has been created.

Requirements
Admission Requirements
It is expected that candidates will hold the equivalent of a UK Honours degree at first or upper second classifications, in a technical discipline such as physical science, electrical and electronic engineering, but other qualifications and experience will be considered on a case by case basis. Applicants may be required to submit to an interview. A small number of EPSRC funded studentships are available which pay the University fees and a subsistence allowance to the candidate, applications are invited for these studentships, awards will be made on a competitive basis. Applications from candidates already in UK industry and from overseas are also invited.
English Language Requirements
In addition to academic qualifications, you must also be able to show that you have a sufficient grasp of English. If English is not your first language you will need to provide evidence of your proficiency before you can begin the course, and you are strongly advised to take the IELTS or the TOEFL test examination. The University's general entry requirements are IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 600 (including the Test of Written English), TOEFL 250 (computer based test) and TOEFL 100 (internet based test).
