MSc Nanotechnology And Renewable Energy

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc Full-time: 1 year, Part-time: 5 years

Course Description

Could the design of novel nanomaterials based on atoms and molecules hold the secret to saving our planet from predicted climate catastrophe? Will solar energy provide the long-term alternative to fossil fuels? And how will we successfully harvest this energy?

Our MSc allows you to discover the practical implementation of nanoscience, quantum engineering, nanomaterials and nanotechnology for renewable energy generation and storage.

You’ll be taught by world-leading experts at the University’s Advanced Technology Institute, and gain specialised skills through an individual research project within our research groups, using the latest advanced equipment and facilities.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in advanced materials, electronic engineering, materials science, nano sciences, chemistry or physics, or a recognised equivalent international qualification.
