    About

    Course overview

    Our Environmental and Biological Nanoscience MRes is a collaborative endeavour between the Environmental Health Science group in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences and the School of Biosciences. The course is research-focused, with a large project carried out in state-of-the-art laboratories.

    This programme is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of nanoscience and its potential environmental and human health-related risk.

    As a young scientist and an aspiring academic, I think that Birmingham has given me ample opportunities to prepare myself for the years ahead.

    Career

    This MRes is designed for those with interests in human and environmental health implications of nanoparticles and is recommended for those both in work and just leaving undergraduate education, with interests in nanoscience and its implications for health, safety and the environment. Manufactured nanoparticles and nanomaterials offer many potential socio-economic, health and environmental benefits as a result of the novel properties and behaviour that materials can exhibit when manufactured at the nanoscale. While the production of nanomaterials is undergoing exponential growth, their biological effects and environmental fate and behaviour are relatively unknown.
