The Nanotechnology Masters Degree at University College Dublin is designed for graduates eager to apply their scientific expertise to the rapidly advancing field of nanoscale science and engineering. You will explore how manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular level drives innovation across diverse sectors, including electronics, sensors, and green technology. This interdisciplinary programme bridges physics, chemistry, and engineering, offering you the chance to engage with cutting-edge research and develop technologies like single photon sources, nanoelectronics, and advanced nanomaterials. It's ideal for students seeking a dynamic academic and research environment.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme is delivered over one year, allowing you to tailor your curriculum through a negotiated structure. You will have access to major technology platforms and engage in significant research through a substantial physics research project, such as the Physics Research Project 60. You will also have the opportunity to select optional modules in areas like nanomaterials chemistry or medical device design. You will graduate with practical skills and knowledge highly relevant to industrial employers in sectors such as semiconductors and telecommunications, or be well-prepared for further PhD research.
