MSc Nanoscience to Nanotechnology

School of Engineering

The School of Engineering has an excellent reputation for Engineering. We are recognized for our world-class research in a range of areas within Nanotechnology and hold the Excellence in Teaching rating.

The UCAS code for this course is: n/a
Full time study: 1 year full-time study

Part-time study: 2 or 3 years

The growth of nanotechnology is one of the most exciting developments in science and engineering in recent years. Much of the research in this field is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing expertise from different areas across the life science, physical science and engineering disciplines. This course will cover a broad range of subject areas, from the latest semiconductor fabrication technology, right across to biological and medical applications, with the emphasis throughout on characterisation and control of materials at the nanoscale. The focus will be on both the techniques necessary for scientific investigation at these very small dimensions, and the very latest research developments in this rapidly evolving area.

This course provides students with the knowledge, motivation, and self-learning skills required for continuous professional development during their future careers and provides valuable experience of working on complex projects both as individuals and as team members.

Our aim is for students to develop the potential to become future leaders and champions of industry.

Standard Entry requirements

The normal entry requirement for Masters students is a First or a Second Class Honours Degree in Engineering or similar relevant science discipline.

Students holding overseas degrees are very welcome and their degree qualifications are assessed in accordance with their referees’ comments and our long established experience in this area.

Candidates who do not possess an Honours Degree but who have sufficient professional experience in a relevant area may also be admitted in special circumstances.

Accreditation
Assessment

The full-time scheme lasts for 12 months and consists of two taught semesters (Part I), followed by a three-month period of individual research (Part II) during the summer. The taught modules - totalling 120 credits are - examined and students must perform satisfactorily in these examinations before they are allowed to proceed to the research phase (Part II). The MSc course is based on the Level M of the existing undergraduate aerospace degree building on the extensive research activities in materials engineering and in computational methods. In the School of Engineering at Swansea University, the Level M modules are delivered in a two-week block mode.
