This interdisciplinary MSc programme will provide you with the skills, knowledge and expertise to become practitioners in nanoscience, whether in industry or academia. The programme provides innovative and novel training, and will support you in the next phase of your career. To date all of our graduates have been successful in obtaining either a PhD place or full-time employment. Just over 50% have taken up PhD places in Bristol, other leading UK universities or in top universities around the world. You will work alongside PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in world-leading research laboratories across the University. The structure of the programme, with two short training projects – the Skills and Training Assignments- and one research project – the Extended Project – means that you will have direct contact with many different academics and areas of research. Very importantly, you will choose your Extended Research Project after having explored The Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials (BCFN) network of research. Within the programme, the assessment of the units is linked to specific skills. The programme has been designed to provide feedback on both technical and professional skills, including research skills, presenting, writing, teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurship. The Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials (BCFN) represents more than 100 academics from 15 departments in the faculties of science, engineering, and biomedical sciences. This rich and diverse support network ensures your training and research is at the cutting edge and is truly interdisciplinary. The combination of skills training and world-class nanoscience means that graduates of this programme have all started a PhD or successfully obtained full-time employment.
