EPSRC CDT MRes + PhD in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

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. By the end of the PhD programme, students will have attended a minimum of 80 hours of lectures in degree-level topics to complement their own strengths and knowledge base upon entry, gaining a broad overview and specific knowledge of nanoscience, shared across the whole cohort; learned additional skills and disciplines outside of their first degree subject; developed a full interdisciplinary PhD proposal they can defend in an oral examination and, if successful, embark on their second year at the CDT.
