DPhil Opportunities at the Optical Wireless Communications Group, Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford

DPhil Opportunities

Are you interested in graduate study in Communications, Optical systems, Electronics or Controls? Oxford is repeatedly ranked in the top tier of universities worldwide in engineering and technology by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

We offer research degrees in a variety of topics, such as:

  • Visible and near infrared light communications
  • Optical beamsteering
  • Receivers for visible light communications
  • Quantum communications
  • Multiple input multiple output for communications
  • Sensors for time resolved mass spectrometers
  • Sensitive optical detectors that can detect contamination in waste water and the food industry

More information about research is given on our projects page. We offer the possibility of studying for an MSc by research, but most students prefer to study for a doctorate (DPhil).

The application process is described on the Oxford University web site.

If you wish to do research in Communications Engineering and are eligible for an EPSRC studentship (usually UK or EU nationals) or have already obtained a scholarship (or other support) please contact one of the academic members of the group or any other member of staff. 

If you do not yet have funding you can find details of some scholarships in the Oxford University Graduate Prospectus. Please do not write to us requesting a "scholarship", as unfortunately we will be unable to help. The University administers a scheme whereby a very limited number of bursaries are available to support research students. There is very strong competition for these bursaries and you will need an excellent academic record to have a chance of success.
