MSc Sensor and Imaging Systems
Sensor and Imaging Systems (SIS) is a key enabling technology to achieve quality, efficiency and performance across all key markets. The underlying requirement across all of these sectors is the same:
To sense, measure, process, communicate and visualise in a way that provides valuable and actionable information based on data.
The SIS market is worth £500Bn globally and touches every aspect of our lives. Employing 16,000 people in highly skilled jobs in Scotland, the sector is growing at 10% per year, and is spearheading the next wave of connectivity and intelligence for internet connected devices.
Career ProspectsCareer opportunities are extensive and graduates will gain an understanding of sensor-based systems applicable to a whole host of markets supported by CENSIS.
You will graduate with domain-appropriate skills suitable for a range of careers in areas including defence and security, through to healthcare, transport, the environment, energy and many more. Here are some of the markets that need graduates with SIS skills:
THE INNOVATION CENTRE FOR SENSOR AND IMAGING SYSTEMS (CENSIS) IS ONE OF EIGHT NEW INNOVATION CENTRES SUPPORTED BY THE SCOTTISH FUNDING COUNCIL (SFC). The Innovation Centres are transforming the way universities and business work together to enhance innovation and entrepreneurship across Scotland’s key economic sectors. They aim to create jobs and grow the economy.
In response to a call from SFC to address skill shortages in the economically important domain of sensor and imaging systems and their applications, CENSIS has launched this collaborative MSc, designed to train the next generation of sensor system experts.
Developed with the support of CENSIS’ industry partners, the degree is delivered by two top-ranking Russell Group universities: the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow. Graduates receive a joint degree from both universities.
