Science and Applications of Plastic Electronic Materials

Students accepted into the CDT program will register for their first year with Imperial College London, who will award an MRes degree upon successful completion of a course that includes both formally taught elements and a nine-month research project.

• nanofabrication facility
• crystal growth laboratory
• magnetic characterisation suite
• MBE facility for epitaxial thin films and multilayers
• X-ray diffraction laboratory
• Nicholas Kurti High Magnetic Field Laboratory
• facilities for protein expression, cell culture and biophysical measurements
• Radcliffe Science Library.

For acceptance into the course based on an Oxford-led project, the student will spend this nine-month project with the indicated supervisors at the University of Oxford.

Subject to successful completion of the MRes, the student will then be enrolled for a DPhil (PhD) program at the University of Oxford for a further three years, during which they will carry out the research project chosen at admissions point. Successful completion of this part of the CDT program will result in the award of a DPhil (PhD) degree in either physics, materials or engineering science from the University of Oxford.

The CDT website will list projects available for the coming academic year by the preceding January. Please note that entry into the University of Oxford's graduate programme for DPhil studies for years two to four of the programme requires the choice of a research project led by an Oxford supervisor at the point of admission into the CDT programme.
