Teaching standards

Three rules we do not bend.

Everyone still practises

No instructor teaches a technique they have not personally run in the last three years.

Every claim is sourced

Lecture assertions are footnoted to primary literature. The reading lists are not decorative.

Content is re-cut annually

Lessons that fall behind the literature are re-recorded, not patched with an erratum slide.

We do not just teach nanomaterials. We teach how to be honest about what your data can and cannot support.

Teach with us

Researchers welcome.

We add one or two visiting lecturers per year. If you hold an active research post in nanomaterials and can teach clearly in English, we would like to hear from you.
