Microtechnology and nanoscience, PhD
Campus Johanneberg, Gothenburg, Sweden
Programme overview
Main Subject
Physics and Astronomy
Degree
PhD
Study Level
PHD
Study Mode
On Campus
The doctoral school in microtechnology and nanoscience has the purpose to educate a licentiate or technical doctor. In the graduate school, you develop an ability to plan, conduct, and present research within the subject critically and independently. As a licentiate, you will be able to independently participate in research and development work in the area. With a Ph.D. degree, you are expected to be able to initiate and lead research in academia or in industry. After your graduation, you will be well prepared for future research challenges in microtechnology and nanoscience and you will be able to link research with relevant societal concerns. In your thesis work, you will advance the knowledge of mankind in a specific subject within the field. Read more in the study plan.
The graduate school is organised within the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience.
Description of subject
The subject Microtechnology and Nanoscience covers knowledge on materials, devices and subsystems for future electronics, photonics, quantum technology, micro- and nanosystems. The aim of the postgraduate education is to give the student fundamental understanding of current research challenges within the area, an ability to connect their research with utilization outside academia, an understanding of current research methodologies, and in-depth knowledge into the area of their thesis project. The licentiate program aims to make the student capable of independent participation in research and development work. The PhD program aims to make the student capable of critically and independently planning, carrying out, and presenting work in research and development. See also the aim and objectives of the Graduate Course Programmes at Chalmers.

Admission Requirements
To be qualified for admission in Microtechnology and nanoscience the student must have earned a degree at the second-cycle level. The orientation of the student’s degree shall also have a sufficiently close connection to the subject of the doctoral programme. Equivalent requirements apply to individuals who have taken their first degree in a country other than Sweden. The examiner, in consultation with the principal supervisor, shall assess whether the applicant has the requisite capacity to successfully complete the doctoral programme. Other requirements for general entry are regulated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.
Admission
Regulations regarding admission are stated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.
