About the PGI

The aims, objectives and benefits of the PGI

Creating the next generation of world-class measurement scientists

Our fully funded doctoral researchers gain industrial experience, working in exciting environments with access to top innovators, and using cutting edge equipment at a national lab. This combination not only elevates the PhD experience but makes our postgraduates highly desirable employees with rewarding careers ahead of them.

Our collaborative partnership with NPL has made PGI the perfect recruitment platform for measurement science expertise. Our PGI studentships blend a holistic mix of professional and technical skills to ensure our researchers have the expertise UK industry needs to increase innovation and capability. Being part of the PGI provides accreditation and validation to research and makes economic sense too, by sharing the cost of training whilst building a stronger workforce to support business.

 PGI alumni are part of a celebrated lifelong community which offers ongoing opportunities for collaborative research and mentoring on a global scale.
