Nanotechnology Degree Programs at University of Cambridge
This course provides an up-to-date overview of the rapidly developing area of bionanotechnology. Learn from a leading academic in the field who is based at the internationally recognised Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge. The course is grounded in biomedical applications but the techniques you will learn are applicable to a range of industries including energy, agriculture and the environment. The interdisciplinary approach will allow you to develop a network of potential future collaborators.
The Master's Programme in Micro- and Nanotechnology Enterprise is an opportunity in which world-leading scientists and successful entrepreneurs are brought together to deliver a one-year Master's degree, which combines an in-depth multidisciplinary scientific programme with a global perspective on the commercial opportunities and business practice necessary for the successful exploitation in the rapidly developing fields of nanotechnology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
The NanoEngineering Research Group at the Cambridge Graphene Centre works across engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology, exploiting 0D, 1D and 2D nanomaterials for optoelectronics, photonics, sensors and energy devices.
The PhD programme is based on courses, practicals and projects in Year 1 before selection of an interdisciplinary PhD topic for research in Years 2-4 in a Nano group within Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Materials or another department. A significant element will be a Management of Technology Innovation (MoTI) component provided through the Judge Business School.
The group comprises research areas in electronic devices and materials, novel materials and metrology, nanomaterials and spectroscopy, and scientific imaging, with work including carbon nanotubes, semiconducting nanowires, graphene and other nanoscale materials.
