Overview

Investigate the potential of applying nanotechnology through smart and functional materials to transform whole sectors of industry from healthcare to energy. This course covers the technologies to design, realise and analyse micro and nano-scale devices, materials and systems.

There are numerous benefits associated with undertaking a postgraduate programme of study at Cranfield University, including:

– Study in a postgraduate-only environment where Masters’ graduates can secure positions in full-time employment in their chosen field, or undertake academic research – Teaching by leading academics as well as industrial practitioners – Work alongside a strong research team – Dedicated support including extensive information resources managed by Cranfield University’s library – Consultancy to companies supporting their employees on part-time programmes, in relation to individual projects.

Programme structure

The course comprises eight assessed modules, a group project and an individual research project. The modules include lectures and tutorials, and are assessed through practical work, written examinations, case studies, essays, presentations and tests. These provide the ‘tools’ required for the group and individual projects.

Career opportunities

Successful students will secure positions in the newly developing microsystems and nanotechnology-based industries as well as more traditional industries, such as microelectronics and precision engineering, requiring skills related to those taught. Graduates are able to pursue careers in a diverse range of industries including automotive, aerospace, cosmetics and pharmaceutical.
