TheÊAdvanced Thin Film Technologies programme is offered atÊUniversity of the West of Scotland.ÊThin film technologies are key enablers in a wide range of global research, development, manufacturing, industrial and high technology applications and products.

Our unique course provides up-to-date coverage of evolving thin film technologies and latest developments in the field. It develops the multi-disciplinary skills needed for professional development within this rapidly expanding field and forms the basis for future professional chartered engineer and/or physicist status.

Core topics include thin film materials science, metrology and characterisation, theoretical modelling, physical and chemical-based thin film deposition methods including deposition system engineering and control, plasma processing, thin film devices and applications and research and project management. The programme content reflects the multidisciplinary nature of advanced thin film technologies and provides students with the necessary broad skill set.

You will be equipped for global opportunities for employment and a career in:

• research
• development
• manufacturing
• business

Most organisations that implement thin film based technologies employ fully trained, qualified technologists, consultants and technical marketing specialists throughout their lifecycle, with a consequent high global demand for such personnel across a wide range of applications, products and markets.
