Key Information

Funding providers:  S wansea University Strategic Partnership Research Scholarships (SUSPRS)  with  Université Grenoble Alpes, France

Subject areas:  Semiconductors  

Project start date:  

  • 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September)

Supervisors:

  • Professor Karol Kalna (Swansea - [email protected] ) and Dr Didier Chaussende (Grenoble)
  • Professor Mike Jennings (Swansea)

Aligned programme of study:  PhD in Electronic & Electrical Engineering

Mode of study:  Full-time

Project description:  

This is a joint PhD programme between Swansea University and Université Grenoble Alpes.

Established in 2012/13, the Swansea and Grenoble (UGA) Institutional Strategic Partnership was one of the first major strategic partnerships between a UK and French university. It is a unique, institutional-wide multi- disciplinary collaboration, which includes joint research and publication, student and staff exchange, joint PhDs and joint master’s programmes. Over 30 Joint Doctoral Degrees have been developed through the strategic partnership to date, across diverse subject areas, including medicine, engineering and law. Candidates spend 50% of their time in both Swansea and Grenoble and are jointly supervised by academic staff from both universities. Successful candidates receive a double degree from the Université Grenoble Alpes and Swansea University.    

Embark on a transformative journey with our PhD scholarship in Power Electronics. This research focuses on wide band gap semiconductors, a vital technology for energy processing and distribution.   

This PhD studentship is an opportunity to contribute to a pioneering research project on cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) power electronic transistors. This project is a culmination of extensive research efforts by our dedicated team at Grenoble and Swansea, who have made significant strides in the field of wide-bandgap power electronics. The research aims to explore the potential of 3C-SiC, a novel polytype of silicon carbide (SiC), in overcoming the limitations of its hexagonal counterpart (4H-SiC). Unlike other materials, 3C-SiC offers a unique advantage - it can be doped, n- or p-type, over a wide range of resistivity, making it a promising candidate for power electronic applications. The 4H-SiC power electronic transistors suffer from low channel mobility, contact resistance, and poor reliability. The cubic polytype of SiC, 3C-SiC, can overcome these obstacles.  

Eligibility

Candidates must hold a UK bachelor’s degree with a minimum of Upper Second Class honours or overseas bachelor’s degree deemed equivalent to UK honours (by UK ECCTIS) and achieved a grade equivalent to UK Upper Second Class honours in Engineering or similar relevant science discipline.

Top Universities accepting IELTS Score 6 in Europe

Here is a detailed list of some of the best universities accepting IELTS score 6 in Europe for international students alongside some basic information about the schools.

IELTS is the most accepted English proficiency test across different countries. The bands are scored from 0-9 and minimum score requirements vary from country-to-country down to school-to-school.

A typical example is for universities in Canada that accept 6.0 bands especially if the student is looking for an SDS program.

There are not quite so many universities accepting IELTS 6 in Europe because most universities expect applicants to have at least a 6.5 IELTS minimum band. But however, we were able to find some of them that do.

In Europe, universities using the English language as their basic medium of instruction and teaching require proof of English proficiency from applicants and IELTS is usually the English test score recommended.

This is basically because there will be students from countries that do not have English as their first language which contrasts sharply with the European lifestyle. These students who are not proficient in English may have to take a one-year language course before starting their program.

Students take their courses and assignments in English so, they are expected to at least have basic knowledge of the English language.

With an overall score of 6 in IELTS, you can get admission into a good university in Europe but you might need to try to get up to 7 to stand a greater chance of admission.

A 6.0 band score shows the applicant off as being competent enough to at least cope in a classroom situation so even though it is not high, some universities accept students with such scores and we put out this article to let you know the schools that do.

However, there are schools in European countries such as Norway, Holland and Germany which offer the privilege of applying without IELTS.

Below are the top universities accepting IELTS score 6 in Europe from international students for admissions.

University of Oslo

Telecom paris, wageningen university and research, ghent university, university of vienna, vienna university of technology (tu wien), university of dundee, university of southern denmark, university of bergen, university of helsinki.

The University of Oslo is one of the best universities accepting IELTS score 6 in Europe and the school receives a good number of international students yearly and is also one of the most popular schools in Oslo, Europe for foreign students.

The school has a long history of over 200 years and has played a pivotal role in various changes in Norway from its inception.

It is a classical university with a wide range of academic disciplines with top research communities across Norway.

At Oslo, students have access to excellent university library facilities and practical lectures that exposes them to a clear understanding of their courses.

The school has 19 libraries, ICT services, sports facilities, students club, medical services. It is very easy for students to combine city living with easy access to outdoor life.

Telecom Paris is one of the top universities accepting IELTS score 6 in Europe. The school opens its admission window for both domestic and international students yearly and accepts IELTS scores as low as band 6 from international students.

The institution is one of France’s top public graduate engineering schools and is recently termed the leading French school in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Europe.

Students are trained to manage themselves as well as tough situations in a complex world. So many persons see the school as a research center that expertly combines disciplinary expertise with innovative ideas.

The school is located in Central Paris, just in the heart of a rich blend of urban and cultural environment.

This is one of the popular universities accepting IELTS score 6 in Europe from international students for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

This is one of the top Universities in the Netherlands with over 6500 employees and 12000 students from more than a hundred countries around the world.
