• Manipulating matter at the nanoscale has already led to new technology in many areas such as electronics, displays, sensors, and green technology. One feature of this programme is that it is delivered in association with Intel Ireland. Intel Ireland are funding four scholarships of ?3,000 each. These scholarships will be offered each year for four years, starting with the 2016 entry.
  • Students help design their own curricula (negotiated structure) in this interdisciplinary programme with access to major technology platforms essential to the conduct of world-class cutting-edge research through the strength of the collaboration of the UCD School of Physics. This process takes both the educational track record and the career trajectory of the student into account. Staff from Intel ireland will come to UCD during the year to speak with and advise students on the programme.
  • Study science and techniques that will contribute to the development of technology and devices such as single photon sources, solar cells, nanoelectronics and? nanomaterials.
  • Highly relevant to the recruitment needs of industrial employers, particularly in the semiconductor, telecommunications and imaging sectors and for further PhD research
