Nanotechnology represents a fundamental change in the way we interact with the natural world, and is set to deliver some of the major scientific and technological advances of the new century. The massive global investment in nanotechnology means that scientists who are trained to work effectively in an interdisciplinary environment – bridging the diverse fields of chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering – will play a vital role in shaping the future.

Combining interdisciplinary teaching with cutting edge research, Imperial College's flagship Masters Degree in Nanomaterials is designed to train the next generation of nanotechnologists. Imperial College is a world class research institution with internationally leading expertise and facilities. Its nanomaterials course is a demanding one and competition for places is intense. Academic excellence and a willingness to work in an interdisciplinary environment are a prerequisite. Successful candidates will receive generous funding, carry out a major year long research project, visit state-of-the-art research laboratories in industry and academia, and discuss their work at a fully funded conference in the USA.
