Course Structure
The MSc in Nanoscience is offered on a full-time basis over one year.

The course content is highly flexible - as well as taking core, compulsory modules, you will be able to choose from a number of optional, approved modules to best reflect your personal interests and career aspirations.

You will also be expected to complete a Nanoscience Research Project worth 60 credits over the summer months.

The course is taught jointly by the School of Chemistry, School of Physics and Astronomy, School of Pharmacy and School of Mechanical, Materials & Manufacturing Engineering and comprises taught modules, a dissertation, presentations and experiential learning components.

Assessment is achieved by a combination of written examinations, coursework, a project report and oral presentations.
