Interdisciplinary collaborations are often difficult because of the subtle differences in language, perspective and methodology associated with the different disciplines. The MRes in Nanomaterials is specifically designed to enable physicists, chemists, biologists, materials scientists and engineers to bridge these gaps and to make a successful transition to fully interdisciplinary working environments. The course does not assume any previous knowledge of nanomaterials, but candidates should have obtained or expect a 1st or a good 2.1 in a relevant undergraduate degree subject. A commitment to a career in nanotechnology is part of the selection process.
