MSci Hons Physics with Nanoscience

Taught by leading experts, you will learn: the skills required to manipulate and visualise individual atoms and molecules using scanning probe microscopy; how forces at the nanoscale differ from those observed in macroscopic systems; and what strategies should be used to build nanoscale molecular machinery. You will also have the opportunity to undertake a major research project. As in the final year of all our MSci programmes, a variety of assessments are carried out involving mini-projects, presentations, groupwork and coursework. The synoptic element is targeted towards subjects of interest to nanoscientists, with modules on image processing and analysis, and advanced scanning probe, electron and optical microscopes. You will also undertake a major research project in a topical area of nanoscientific research.
