Προκήρυξη:
The EPSRC CDT in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NanoDTC) at the University of Cambridge invites applications from top-class independent-thinking students for its multidisciplinary MRes + PhD programme in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology starting in October 2018. We welcome applicants from across Physical Sciences including Chemistry, Physics, Materials and Engineering. Entry into this prestigious programme is very competitive, and will take into account qualifications, aspirations and experience.
Programme Details
Students joining this 4-year programme will undergo thorough training in all aspects of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (through lectures, lab practicals and short projects) during their 1st year, before embarking on a PhD project designed by them in collaboration with supervisors of their choice, from a nearly a hundred Nano research groups around the University for a further three years, with second supervisors from another department.
An important component of the programme is exposure to innovation and business courses including the custom-designed course on Nurturing and Managing Innovation, and through programmed sessions with partner Nanotechnology companies.
Extensive feedback is provided to students throughout the programme, on not only their research skills, but also on other aspects such as science communication, business management and other important professional skills, leading to the students emerging as well rounded individuals at the end of their course, capable of leadership in their chosen field.
The cohort of around 10 PhD students a year continues to interact closely together throughout the whole PhD programme, and also has an opportunity to interact with the wider NanoDTC network of over 500 students and academics in Cambridge, making the programme an enriching experience. Funding is provided to students to attend international conferences also.
Full funding is available for UK students and EU students resident in the UK for the past 3 years. Funding for EU and overseas students may also be available through competitive scholarships offered by Cambridge Trusts, Gates and other similar organisations.
