Nanotechnology and Advanced Electronic Devices

Overview

This course will advance your knowledge to the cutting edge of nanotechnology, nanoelectronics, high speed (terahertz) and quantum optoelectronic device research. It is particularly suited to you if you have an electronic engineering or physical science background and want to pursue a career in research.

This course is derived directly from the research of the School?s highly successfully world-class research Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (IMP). In recent years the research of the IMP has developed to include high frequency (terahertz) sources and systems, quantum optoelectronics (including infrared and terahertz lasers and photodetectors), molecular and bio-nanoelectronics. The internationally recognised research leaders in IMP developed this course to develop tomorrow's scientists and engineers who will drive forward future innovation in the electronics and communications industries.

Entry Requirements

A degree equivalent to a UK upper second class honours (2.1) degree or higher in an appropriate numerate discipline usually electronic engineering, but others may be considered.

A pass at GCSE level in English Language (grade C or above). International students must have an English language qualification at a suitable level, for example IELTS 6.0 or equivalent.

Career Options

This course will allow you to pursue a career in research either in a university environment through a PhD or through the research and development arm of a high-tech. electronics, communications or computing company.
