Visiting Scientists
The Polymer Science Centre has an active Visiting Scientist Programme. In
recent years the Polymer Science Center has hosted scientists from Brazil,
Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Japan, Malaysia,
Portugal, Spain and Thailand. In most cases if desired it is possible to
arrange inexpensive University Accommodation. Support may be possible
through an appropriate sponsored scheme. Interested scientists should make
contact since it may be possible to put you in contact with a potential
funding agency.
Postgraduate Training including the EU Marie Curie mobility programme
The Polymer Science Centre offers postgraduate training in both Polymer
Physics and Polymer Chemistry together with Polymer Science in an integrated
manner. Places for programmes of research leading to a Ph.D. are available
in all highlighted areas. Studentships for UK and EC based graduates are
usually available possibly in collaboration with an Industrial Organisation.
Students from overseas are encouraged; recent students include those from
China, Egypt, Iran, Korea, Pakistan, Portugal, Taiwan and Thailand.
Training at the Masters Level is possible through the M.Sc course in
Research.
Collaboration
The Polymer Science Centre has strong interactions with both Industry and
other Research Institutes. The Centre views these collaborations in a very
positive manner and it welcomes enquiries across the broad range of its
activities. The Senior Staff Members will be pleased to discuss in detail
how the comprehensive nature of the expertise and experience at the Centre
may be used in particular areas of Polymer Science. We welcome enquiries for
collaborative research programmes and funding applications including EU
Framework 7 Proposals.
Consultancy and Contract Work
The Polymer Science Centre is willing to discuss potential areas of
contract work
and consultancy. It can offer considerable expertise and wideranging
test facilities embracing most areas of polymer science. |
