Program Overview
Nanoscience is the study of very small things on a nanometer scale (one-thousandth millionth of a metre). This is the scale of large molecules like plastics or proteins.
Nanotechnology includes the techniques used to create structures on a scale below 100nm, which can be used in new generations of electronics, sensors and computer chips. Many of today’s global challenges in the environment and health can be addressed by nanotechnology intervention.
Many industries use nanotechnology: semiconductors and electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automotive, food, agriculture, and more.
This course is a solid science degree (physics and chemistry) but with a unique focus on nanoscience and nanotechnology. In the later years, you can specialise in either physics or chemistry, but all students do the nanotechnology modules.
Concentration on a single subject is not enough for any scientist, especially in as wide-ranging a subject area as nanotechnology. Thus, as well as chemistry and physics, this course covers relevant biology, problem-solving, computer studies, maths (in Years 1 and 2) and professional skills.
Much of the physics in Years 1 and 2 is delivered using problem-based learning which allows students to develop additional skills and qualities sought by industry (working in teams, interpersonal skills, adaptability). IT and computing form an integral part of the course.
In addition to the scientific modules, you’ll take a series of professional development modules on topics such as entrepreneurial skills, invention, innovation and commercialisation skills, and the role of science and technology in society.
