Course summary
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
- computational modelling of the nanoworld
Modules
Compulsory modules: Introductory Nanoscience; Physics Skills; Conversion Course; Advanced Nanoscience 1: Imaging & Microscopy; Advanced Topics in Nanoscience 3: Nanochemistry; Project Elective modules: Advanced Nanoscience 2: Solid State Nanoscience; Experimental Laboratories.
Assessment method
The assessment of most taught modules is based on a written examination and continuous coursework (about 20%), and, in some modules, an oral examination. The final project is assessed mainly by a report supplemented by a talk, an oral examination (viva) and an assessment of the performance and engagement during the project by the supervisor.
