MSc Nanomedicine
Cranfield University
The first Nanomedicine MSc in Europe!
- Funding available
The unique course – developed in response to industry demand, bridges the gap between nanotechnology and medicine. Students will learn how nanotechnology impacts upon new medicinal products, drug development and delivery and acquire an understanding of the practice of medicine using nanotechnology.
The MSc course will provide you with knowledge and skills in a number of specialist areas including:

This exciting MSc course comprises ten taught modules and a research project and thesis. You'll have the opportunity to take part in an industry project placement – allowing you to apply your new-found knowledge and skills in a real-life setting. You'll also make invaluable contacts with potential employers before you even complete the course!
The Nanomedicine MSc will provide essential training for new graduates and will also provide advanced in-post training for professionals already working in a variety of related industries. Available on a full (1 year) and part-time (2-3 years) basis the course offers flexibility and support for those who wish to study whilst remaining in employment.

MSc Microsystems and Nanotechnology
Cranfield University
The innovative MSc in Microsystems & Nanotechnology provides a thorough grounding in the skills necessary for a technically-based career in the new high-tech industries. The course covers technologies used to design, realise and analyse micro and nano-scale devices, materials and systems, coupled with general and technology management. This, supported by project work, ensures graduates emerge trained in a wide range of technical and management skills, and have a sharp appreciation of the relevance of the subject to industrial needs.
The course comprises eight one-week assessed modules, a group project (or a dissertation for part-time students) and an individual project. The modules include lectures and tutorials, and are assessed through written examinations and assignments.
Entry requirements: Applicants must possess, or be expected to achieve, a 1st or 2nd class UK honours degree or equivalent in a relevant engineering or science-based discipline. Other relevant qualifications together with considerable industrial experience may be considered.

'BEng/MEng Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology'
(undergraduate degree programme)
Department of Electronics, University of York
Our Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology undergraduate degree course was one of the first IET accredited programmes in this specialist discipline. York is one of the leading UK institutions with expertise in this emerging growth industry, having recently opened a multi-million pound Nanotechnology Research Centre.
The course emphasises those areas of nanotechnology of direct relevance to contemporary electronics. It includes an introduction to nanotechology, device miniaturisation, and behaviour and fabrication. It also covers areas such as nanophotonics, exploring the optical properties of nanostructures, and advanced information storage, looking at the possibilities for increased storage density on new media that advances in nanotechnology open up.

'MSc in Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine'
BRAND NEW MSC IN NANOTECHNOLOGY AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
AT UCL FROM SEPTEMBER 2009
Centre for Nanotechnology, Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
Division of Surgery and Interventional Science, University College London, London
Enquires and Administrative contact: Professor Alexander Seifalian
Tel: 020 7830 2901, e.mail a.seifalian@ucl.ac.uk
Duration of the programme – 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time.
Closing date for applications – 1st August 2009.
Programme aims:
The new fields of Nanotechnology and Regenerative Medicine are expanding at a rapid pace. This MSc course introduces robust scientific understanding and aims to equip graduate students with the research and transferable tools in this exciting cross-discipline.
Course contents include mandatory modules in the cutting edge fields of “Nanotechnology” and “Tissue Engineering” and also a hands on laboratory based module in “Molecular and Bionanotechnology Techniques” and a workshop based module in “Statistics in Biomedical Research”. An in-depth laboratory based research project is a fundamental component and opens up opportunities for further research and possible publications.
Optional choices include modules on “Practice of Science”, “Research Funding” or “Route to Translation to Clinic and to Commercialisation of Nanotechnology Products.”
The course is designed to be accessible to students from a large number of disciplines, ranging from Medicine and Biology to Physics, Chemistry and Engineering.
