Nanotechnology Degree Programs at University of Oxford
The Bio-nanotechnology research area within Engineering Biology Oxford represents Oxford research activity applying nanoscale biological engineering approaches within the wider engineering biology community.
The Oxford Carbon Nanomaterials Group focuses on synthesising and characterising carbon nanomaterials, particularly fullerenes and derivatives, for use in a wide range of novel technologies.
This advanced modular course is delivered by leading scientists and experts in this rapidly developing field and has been specifically designed for those who would value a part-time modular learning structure, for example those in full-time employment, both in the UK and overseas. The MSc is designed to be completed part-time, normally over a two- to three-year period, and so provides a path to career development that is flexible and recognised within academia and industry. The programme comprises three online modules exploring the fundamentals of science and materials characterisation at the nanoscale, three intensive five-day face-to-face modules describing the clinical and commercial application of such science, and a piece of original lab-based research leading to the submission of a dissertation.
Nicole Grobert's Nanomaterials by Design group focuses on the synthesis, processing and characterisation of carbon and non-carbon nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanorods, graphene and other 2D nanomaterials.
The group works with synthetic biomolecular nanostructures built by self-assembly from DNA and RNA, developing functional nucleic-acid nanostructures for molecular electronics, molecular machinery, atomically precise manufacture, chemical discovery and theranostic nanosystems.
The Oxford Nano-Spin Group investigates spin effects in nanostructures, spanning synthesis of magnetic molecules and polymers, advanced characterisation, theoretical modelling and integration into functional nanodevices.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology is a unique online course which is taken part time. The course is ideally suited to people who are in full-time employment who seek to gain an academic qualification in the exciting field of nanotechnology. It is taken predominantly online, meaning that it is accessible to anyone in the world with Internet access.
