The CentreÕs vision is to take graphene, related layered materials and hybrids to a point where they can revolutionise flexible, wearable and transparent (opto)electronics, with a manifold return in innovation and exploitation. The four-year course offered by the Centre comprises an initial MRes year, followed by a three-year PhD programme.

The objectives of the programme are to:

produce engineering leaders with a high level of understanding and skills in Graphene Technology, in particular the fundamentals of the field together with the necessary research, technology, systems, applications knowledge and hands-on skills;encourage an appreciation of relevant technology opportunities of graphene and relevant materials and the business, road-mapping and cost analysis tools used to determine the adoption of new technological solutions;develop strong business awareness in graduates on graphene and related nanomaterial commercialization opportunities to foster an understanding of the connections between technology, management and entrepreneurship;expose the students to a range of technology areas, and provide an experience of a variety of different research and development cultures of various leading research groups across the university;encourage students to work across discipline boundaries, with a resultant enhancement of interdisciplinary understanding;equip the graduates of the programme with communication and outreach training, personal development as well as research specific training to enable them to be future technology leaders with excellent public engagement skills.
