UCL and Cambridge have established a DTC in Photonics Systems Development.
Naturally we would be delighted if you would put this poster

somewhere prominent, and-or encourage students to look at the website:

1 year mandatory Masters giving people a leg-up into a 3 year PhD
cheers,

More details (from the poster):
The University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL) have
recently established an exciting new Doctoral Training Centre in Photonic
Systems Development, leveraging their current strong collaborations in
research and innovation. The Centre provides doctoral training using
expertise drawn from a range of disciplines including: Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering,
Materials Science, Computer Science, Physics, Medical Physics,
Nanotechnology, Bioengineering/Biotechnology and Business. It will
collaborate closely with a wide range of UK industries and uses innovative
teaching and learning techniques. This new form of Doctoral Centre, it is
believed, will create graduates with the skills and confidence able to drive
future technology research, development and exploitation, as photonics
becomes fully embedded in electronics-based systems applications ranging
from communications to sensing, industrial manufacture and biomedicine.
We currently have funding available for UK and EU students eligible for
Engineering and Physical Sciences Council (EPSRC) awards for students to
start in September 2009. We expect demand for the limited number of places
on this programme to be very high and strongly recommend potential
applicants complete the Pre-Application Screening Form available on the
Photonics DTC Website. Please address all enquires to
