Our world-class Systems and Process Engineering Centre brings together academic expertise from across the University, incorporating state-of-the-art facilities. With our enviable reputation for research in Nanotechnology, Swansea University provides an excellent base for your research as a MSc by Research student in Nanotechnology.

At Swansea University, the emphasis of our nanotechnology research is on the development of applications-driven research and the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the workplace or health centre.

Interaction with industry is a key component of the centre’s strategy. We are a world-leader in power electronics, telecommunications, nanotechnology and biometrics and modelling of nanoelectronic devices research.

Our Centre for Nanohealth is one of the UK’s pioneering centres for nanoscience teaching and research.

This 1600m2 purpose build open access facility provides a technology and innovation base for industry and academia in Wales, UK and beyond. To date CNH has initiated many collaborative projects with industry and other HEIs realising more than £20 Million further investment.

The CNH started life as growing activity between Swansea’s Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Centre in the College of Engineering, and the Medical School before being developed into a major project. The £21.6M project started in 2009, funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Swansea University, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, Welsh Government Department for Health and Social Services and the Private Sector.
