31 PhD programmes in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Europe

The Nanosciences and Nanotechnology student degree of Universidade de Aveiro aims to understand, control and manipulate the matter at a nano-scale (typically from 1 to 100 nm) where unique physicochemical and biological phenomena take place, which can be explored in new applications. 

This Nanoscience course from Lancaster University offers research in nanoscience and nanotechnologies which is excelled by the experimentalists in the Quantum Technology Centre and theorists in the Centre for Nanoscale Dynamics

This Nanoscale Science and Technology PhD programme from Newcastle University research students in nanoLAB cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries of medicine, engineering and the physical sciences.

The Micro- and NanoMaterials and Technologies programme of the University of Surrey is a four-year doctoral programme for researchers who aspire to important leadership positions in industry. Study combines industrially relevant research with taught courses, and it gives you the opportunity to work closely with one of our industrial partners.

The key objective and long-term vision of the Design of Particulate Products research centre at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is the targeted design of particulate products by rigorous optimisation based on predictive structure-property and process-structure functions.

Nano and Functional Materials covers the development and study of novel nanomaterials and their assembly into multi-functional structures and devices for their application in key technological areas. This degree is offered at The University of Manchester.

The Nanotechnology programme offered by Swansea University emphasises the development of applications-driven research and the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the workplace or health centre. Interaction with industry is a key component, supported by strengths in power electronics, telecommunications, nanotechnology, biometrics and modelling of nanoelectronic devices research.

Interdisciplinary Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at University of Cambridge aims to train the next generation of academic and industrial leaders equipped with the skills to navigate and bridge the technical realm with the broader commercial and social landscape.

The interdisciplinary study course Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials from Tomas Bata University in Zlín focuses on the study of the chemical or physical preparation of materials and their physical, chemical and biological properties, with special emphasis on the preparation, characterization and analysis of the properties of nanostructures, which add unique and special properties to materials.

The Leipzig University Graduate School Building with Molecules and Nano-objects (BuildMoNa) focuses on interdisciplinary graduate education through top-level, synergistic research within the framework of the Research Academy Leipzig.

Embark on a transformative academic journey at the prestigious University of Catania, where scientific frontiers meet innovation in the Materials Science and Nanotechnology doctoral program.

Embark on a transformative academic journey with the University of Verona's distinguished doctoral program in Nanoscience and Advanced Technologies—a groundbreaking initiative at the forefront of scientific exploration and technological innovation.

The PhD in Electrical, Materials, Raw Materials and Nanotechnology Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome aims to create a truly multidisciplinary third education level, targeted at the study of research topics in different industrial engineering sectors as electrical engineering, materials engineering, primary and secondary raw materials engineering and micro/nanotechnologies engineering.

The Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) carries out research and provides education in the field of high-tech systems and scientific instrumentation.

The Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering programme offered at University of Glasgow from research division is home to more than 70 research students working in fields as diverse as atomic force microscopy, quantum sensors, high speed optical devices and atomistic device simulations.

Full position within a research group led and supervised by one of the Max Planck School of Photonics Fellows. Close supervision of our fellows ensured for your PhD project with our network of universities throughout Germany, and encouragement to carry out brief or medium-term research stays under the direction of their co-supervisor's research group.

The Nanotechnology programme offered by University of Trieste develops expertise in nanoscale materials, molecular engineering, and advanced characterization.

The department of Quantum Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) studies quantum phenomena in a wide variety of nanometer scale devices

At the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) Department of Bionanoscience we are fascinated by the question of how molecules work together to create life at the cellular scale. A better understanding of the cell and its behaviour is also relevant for the development of new biomaterials (in food or high-tech materials) and new energy sources (biofuels).

The Nanoscience, Materials and Chemical Engineering course from Rovira i Virgili University aims to provide future professionals with a strong sense of innovation in specialised fields of Nanotechnology, Materials and Chemical Engineering that are especially oriented towards carrying out research in public institutions and industry.
