Swansea to lead UK Centre for Doctoral Training in semiconductor skills
Video Summary

Professor Owen Guy, Centre of Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) at Swansea and Director of the Centre for Nanohealth in the College of Engineering at Swansea University, explains that Swansea University is to lead a major national initiative, The UK Semiconductor Industry Future Skills (UK-SIFS) CDT, to address the UK’s semiconductor skills gap. The new Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) will deliver advanced doctoral-level training in semiconductor skills that are critical to the UK’s ambitions for a resilient and competitive semiconductor manufacturing sector. By combining rigorous academic research with industry-embedded training, UK-SIFS will produce a pipeline of up to 60 highly skilled PhD students over five cohorts, who will be equipped to drive innovation and meet the technical demands of next-generation semiconductor technologies.
