"The MSc programme in Sensor & Imaging Systems lasts one year and contains a minimum of 180 credits. Students undertake a minimum of:\n\n60 credits at the University of Glasgow (semester 1), and\n60 credits at the University of Edinburgh (semester 2)\nThe remaining 60 credits will take the form of an extended MSc project, carried out on a specific aspect of theoretical, computational or experimental aspect of Sensor and Imaging Systems. Projects will be conducted at Glasgow and/or Edinburgh Universities while embedded within a research group or groups – under the direct supervision of a member of academic staff.\n\nStructure\nThe curriculum undertaken by each student will be flexible, and tailored to the prior experience and expertise of the student, his/her particular research interests and the specific nature of the extended research project topic provisionally identified at the beginning of the MSc programme.\n\nGenerally, however, courses taken in semester 1 will focus on skills, understanding and knowledge in the fundamentals of SIS, while courses taken in semester 2 will provide training in more specialist aspects."@en . . . .

"You will gain an understanding of sensor-based systems applicable to a whole host of markets supported by CENSIS.\n\nCareer opportunities are extensive. Sensor systems are spearheading the next wave of connectivity and intelligence for internet connected devices, underpinning all of the new ‘smart markets’, e.g., grid, cities, transport and mobility, digital healthcare and big data.\n\nYou will graduate with domain-appropriate skills suitable for a range of careers in areas including renewable energy, subsea and marine technologies, defence, automotive engineering, intelligent transport, healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing and process control, consumer electronics, and environmental monitoring.\n\nGlobally, the market for sensor systems is valued at £500Bn with an annual growth rate of 10%. The Scottish sensor systems market is worth £2.6Bn pa. There are over 170 sensor systems companies based in Scotland (SMEs and large companies), employing 16,000 people in high-value jobs including product R&D, design, engineering, manufacturing and field services."@en .
