Nanomaterials and Materials Science (Taught)

Course summary

This course is under review for 2025 entry. We aim to provide a further update by December 2024. Become an expert in materials science with nanotechnology specialisation. Course description Nanotechnology has had a revolutionary influence on the development of novel materials over the last 20 years, and many new types of materials are now available, such as nano-carbon, nano-silica, and nano-magnetics. These materials open new ways of designing advanced devices (sensors, electronics, data and energy storage) as well as improved structural and functional materials. The course is designed to equip students with the know-how and skills for becoming an expert in materials science with a specialisation in nanotechnology. We provide a foundation semester in the general area of science and engineering of materials, followed by a nanoscience and nanotechnology-specific semester to give you comprehensive nanomaterials expertise. The course content reflects the highly interdisciplinary nature of this subject and allows students to specialise via options, and a major project. Accreditation Fully accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3). Graduates will have the underpinning knowledge for later professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Please see our University website for the most up-to-date course information.
