About

Nanoscience DTC PhD (NoWNANO) at The University of Manchester offers you an opportunity to join the select group of students working with some of the world’s leading scientists on two-dimensional materials, including graphene – the 21st century’s wonder material.

Overview

About the program

It is a unique Centre for Doctoral Training run by specialist academics and working alongside more than 120 graphene researchers at The University of Manchester, in partnership with Lancaster University. 

Funded by EPSRC, the four-year course will enable you to develop knowledge and skills necessary to drive research and innovation in the field of nanomaterials in your future career, while contributing to the pioneering research at Manchester and Lancaster during your PhD.

The University of Manchester students enrolled on the Nanoscience DTC PhD (NoWNANO) programme receive initial state-of-the-art training in fundamentals of graphene and 2D materials, their applications, and key techniques.
