MSc Nanoscience - Nottingham - 1 Year Full-time

MSc Nanoscience
Duration: 1 year full-time

The course is designed to appeal to both UK and overseas students who have obtained a Bachelors’ degree in Chemistry, Chemical Sciences, Physics, Pharmacy, Biomolecular Science or Materials Science and who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of nanoscale science and how it relates to nanotechnology. Graduates with a M.Sc. in Nanoscience should be well positioned to enter careers in the emerging nanotechnology industry.

The nanoscience degree programme aims to ensure that students will:

• appreciate the interrelationships and synergies that exist between more traditional scientific disciplines and the emerging field of nanoscience;
• develop an understanding of a variety of advanced topics that underpin nanoscale science;
• develop a wider understanding of the impact of nanoscience and nanotechnology including public perceptions of this rising area of science;
• acquire the scientific skills to undertake a research project in an aspect of nanoscience;
• acquire the scientific background to make a significant contribution to today’s emerging nanotechnology and industry;

A distinctive feature of the course is its interdisciplinarity, bringing together courses from four schools under the umbrella of the Nottingham Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre.

Students taking this degree will have:

• Developed their independence in learning and be high quality employable post graduates;
• Achieve an understanding of the principles, concepts and practicalities at the leading edge of nanoscience;
• Carried out a research project at the cutting edge of nanoscience;
• Enhanced their existing and developed new skills.

Candidates should normally be expected to hold at least an upper second class honours Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Chemistry, Chemical Sciences, Physics, Pharmacy, Biomolecular Science or Materials Science from an approved University.

Applicants whose first language is not English, and who do not have a degree from a UK institution, will be required to produce evidence of their competence in English.

A limited number of bursaries covering tuition fees and stipend are available to Home/EU students within the School.
