The Masters in Advanced Functional Materials is an inherently multidisciplinary subject that spans Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Nanotechnology. It underpins many of aspects of modern life and its themes are at the heart of global technological challenges, including energy generation and storage, microelectronics and healthcare. University of Glasgow research in the area has spanned the development of photovoltaics for enhanced solar energy systems, next-generation data storage technologies and characterisation of alloys for nuclear reactor design.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in any physical science/engineering subjects with at least 1 credit bearing module in Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism and Physics of Solids at an average grade of pass.
We may also accept degrees in a related subject with significant physics content at a 2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent). Please note Chemical Engineering, Optoelectronics and Biomedical Textiles are not suitable for this course.
We may sometimes accept degrees at 2.2 Hons with substantial relevant work experience or core at a 2:1 on an individual basis.
