MSc by Research Nanotechnology

Start dates: 1st October, 1st January, 1st April & 1st July.

At Swansea University, the emphasis of our research is on the development of applications-driven research and the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the workplace or health centre.

We are a world-leader in power electronics, telecommunications, nanotechnology and biometrics and modelling of nanoelectronic devices research.

With our enviable reputation for research in Nanotechnology, Swansea University provides an excellent base for your research in Nanotechnology.

Recent projects supervised in the area of Nanotechnology at Swansea University include:

• The application of semiconductor technology for effective single cell studies
• Cellular uptake and trafficking of nanoparticles
• Micro and Nano particle drug delivery systems 
• ''Practical network coding schemes for energy efficient long term evolution radio access networks''
• Study of the uptake of nanoparticles by cells 
• Nanoplasmonics biosensing based on dipole nanoantenna

Our Centre for Nanohealth is one of the UK’s pioneering centres for nanoscience teaching and research.

This 1600m2 purpose build open access facility provides a technology and innovation base for industry and academia in Wales, UK and beyond. To date CNH has initiated many collaborative projects with industry and other HEIs realising more than £20 Million further investment.

The CNH started life as growing activity between Swansea’s Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Centre in the College of Engineering, and the Medical School before being developed into a major project. The £21.6M project started in 2009, funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Swansea University, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, Welsh Government Department for Health and Social Services and the Private Sector.
