MSc Microsystems and Nanoengineering

University of SalfordSalford, United Kingdom

Course overview

The MSc Microsystems and Nanoengineering at the University of Salford equips students with knowledge and skills to design, fabricate, and test microscale and nanoscale devices and systems. The programme combines theoretical modules in microelectronics and nanophotonics with practical laboratory classes, including work in a cleanroom environment where students learn processes such as chip patterning, thin-film deposition, and device characterisation.

Students complete a final project, often choosing a topic of their own interest, which may include sending their design to an external nanofabrication facility or using advanced simulation tools. This hands-on approach ensures graduates are ready for work in research or industry with a strong understanding of design, fabrication, and measurement at very small scales.
