- Materials Characterisation
Further information on our research programmes and PhD topics available is at http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/Department/Research/index.html
and http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/Department/adverts/PhD/PhDadvert.html.
The Department is fortunate in possessing world class facilities in the areas of transmission and scanning electron microscopy, mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction and polymer characterisation.
Close collaborative links exist with industry and other university departments in the UK and abroad.
The minimum academic requirement for admission is an upper second class UK honours degree, or a lower second with a Master’s, (or overseas equivalents) in a relevant subject.
