Nanotechnology in UK

Nanotechnology represents a fundamental change in the way we interact with the natural world, and is set to deliver major scientific and technological advances.

The massive global investment in nanotechnology means that scientists who are trained to work effectively in an interdisciplinary environment that bridges chemistry, physics, materials science, biology and engineering, will play a vital role in shaping the future.

Combining interdisciplinary teaching with cutting-edge research, this course will train the next generation of nanotechnologists, and provide the background required for a career in industrial or academic research.

You will be introduced to nanoscience from material science, physics, chemical and biological perspectives.

The course is also associated with the London Centre for Nanotechnology, a joint venture between Imperial College London and UCL, allowing a wider choice of collaborative opportunities.

Surrey is one of the UK’s leading universities for electrical and electronic engineering, with our courses ranked 9th in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.

Our award-winning Professional Training placements prepare students for roles in various technology-based sectors. We were also named University of the Year for Graduate Employment in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2022.

Our innovative BEng and MEng Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology courses allow you to apply cutting-edge theory to existing engineering problems and technologies.

Throughout your studies, you’ll combine professional engineering skills with scientific research methods, equipping you for industry.

The MSc in Nanoscience to Nanotechnology course enables you to understand the fundamental principles of physics and engineering with major consequences for nanotechnology.

You will develop knowledge around how general concepts of nanoscience research are transferred into engineering applications and products.

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), this course covers the techniques necessary for scientific investigation at extremely small dimensions, and the latest research developments in this rapidly evolving area.
