Plastic Electronics CDT Students
Each year, the MRes and CDT students all start at the same time, at the beginning of October. They take all their core, advanced, practical and transferrable skills courses together. This tightly-knit cohort of students continue to interact, support and collaborate with each other throughout their PhDs.
"The CDT gives students a rich resource of expertise, instruments and connections. The Centre offers numerous opportunities to meet and discuss with academics, postgraduates and PhD students from across the field. And as we are all part of the CDT, there is innate enthusiasms in academics and students to interact. This is a special quality of the CDT, and I highly appreciate it." - Ada Onwubiko, Cohort 6
