The course is mainly designed to equip you for a research-based career in industry but it can also serve as a way of progressing towards a PhD.
WhoÕs the course suitable for?
This course will be of interest to physical science graduates looking to work in the field of nanoscience. ItÕs also suitable for those with an industrial background as a further training opportunity and a way of gaining insights into topics at the forefront of academic research.
The course
This course explores the frontiers of science on the nanoscale. It provides a strong grounding in basic nanoscience before progressing to advanced topics.
Taught classes have been developed from the many years of nanoscience research at the University in areas such as:
- nanoscale imaging
- nanoparticle fabrication and functionalisation
- chemical physics
- computational modelling of the nanoworld
YouÕll study
Two semesters of formal teaching are followed by a three-month intensive project.
