Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Programme Strucure

Core Taught Modules:

You will obtain a basic skill set in nanoscience and nonfabrication, and an awareness of the multidisciplinary breadth of the field. Nanofabrication introduces the fundamental tools and process used in nanoscale fabrication, whilst Electronic Devices 3 familiarises you with the key nanoscale device, the silicon FET, allowing you to apply fabrication techniques in practice. Micro and Nano Technology will significantly deepen your understanding of fabrication processes, whilst Introduction to research in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, gives you a broad overview of the state-of-art in the field, thorough a series of expert lectures.

 Elective Courses:

You will be required to choose one of the 10 credit modules in micro- and nano-scale imaging, and then a further 40 credits of electives in device/circuit/sensor design and fabrication fields or selected nanoscience options in physics.

You may not choose more than 30 credits of courses below Masters level (please note that Masters level courses are denoted by the subject code eg ENG and a 5xxx suffix)

MSc Project and Project Skills:

A unique feature of this degree is the chance to carry out a cutting edge project in Nanofabrication or Nanoscience our best students carry out research level projects in the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre, one of Europe's premier clean rooms.
