Our MSc Nanoscience degree explores the frontiers of science on the nanoscale. It provides a strong grounding in basic nanoscience before progressing to advanced topics. The strongly interdisciplinary research in the physics of life sciences groups links the fundamental science to applications in chemistry, biology and medicine.
Taught classes on this Masters course have been developed from the many years of nanoscience research at the University in areas such as:
nanoscale imaging
nanoparticle fabrication and functionalisation
chemical physics
Who’s the course suitable for?
The course will be of interest to physical science graduates looking to work in the field of nanoscience. It’s also suitable for those with an industrial background as a further training opportunity and a way of gaining insights into topics at the forefront of academic research.
Minimum second-class (2.2) Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in Physics (Mathematics and Physics, Theoretical Physics, Astrophysics, Engineering Physics etc), Chemistry, or a related subject.
Applicants from an engineering discipline need to have had sufficient exposure to fundamental physics courses in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, or need to demonstrate that they can acquire the necessary background.
