Overview
Why choose this programme
The Advanced Technology Institute programme of the University of Surrey houses 160 researchers, including engineers, physicists, materials scientists, biologists and chemists. Approximately half of these are PhD students, allowing you to pursue truly multidisciplinary research.
It’s likely you’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with scientists around the world, which will enhance your international outlook. As part of the larger Faculty Graduate School community, you’ll receive the training you need to become a fully fledged researcher, and drive the next generation of technology and innovation.
You’ll have access to ATI’s extensive facilities and equipment, which has benefitted from more than £40million of investment, to fabricate, characterise, analyse and simulate. This means you can push the frontiers of physics and engineering, while also working closely with local, national and international companies.
Additionally, you’ll be able to join the most appropriate professional institution based on your degree. This is nominally the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and/or the Institute of Physics (IOP) as an Associate Member, and you’ll be entitled to apply for full membership after three years of postgraduate studies.
