Master of Science in Nanotechnology
Program Overview
Nanotechnology is an emerging sector, which covers many areas of both academic science and device design and innovation. Manipulating matter at the nanoscale has already led to new technology in many areas such as electronics, displays, sensors, and green technology. The design, fabrication and control of devices with nanoscale (billionth of a metre) dimensions, is an engine of innovation in almost every sector.
This course is suitable for graduates who wish to apply their degree expertise in the nanoscale science and related sectors. This specialisation is for students excited by the prospect of studying and researching in an interdisciplinary area, where physics, chemistry and engineering all come together.
Nanotechnology has established itself as a key technology in industries ranging from microelectronics to health care, with a consequent demand for appropriately trained graduates. The MSc in Nanotechnology is designed for graduates from the physical sciences and from relevant engineering disciplines. The MSc programme intake extends to include industrial researchers in companies like INTEL, technical managers or academic researchers. We encourage and educate our students to become active, lifelong and autonomous learners with good prospects of employment in economic sectors related to nanotechnology or for further research. Offered are a range of taught modules that cover important aspects of nanotechnology and nanoscience. Our inter-disciplinary learning environment relies on staff with a deep level of expertise and emphasises hands-on work through an experimental research module that is a large part of the MSc programme. Students and staff have access to major technology platforms essential to the conduct of world-class cutting-edge research. Students are prepared for the research project via lectures, practical/laboratory work, seminars, and the advancement of team and self-directed learning skills, project and problem-solving work. Students in the programme will be assessed using a variety of methods, including problem-sets, examinations, reports and oral presentations. Our students will be endowed with professional values including scientific integrity and ethical behaviour.
The course involves the development of the understanding of nanotechnology and nanoscience in a classroom undertaking taught courses to develop not only their understanding of the science but also of science communication, patents and commercial activity as related to scientific technology. Importantly the student will work in a lab environment and will learn a range of skills such as data processing, time management and other soft skills of direct interest to employers as well as developing their experimental and simulation skills in areas of nanotechnology.
