Bachelor of Nanotechnology    (4 years FT)
Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology)    (3 years FT)

The courses in Nanotechnology are a joint offering from Faculties of Engineering and Science.

Nanotechnology is set to revolutionize Materials Science/Engineering in the 21st Century. It is already impacting on our lives in areas such as Health and Communications. Students will acquire a firm foundation in materials chemistry and engineering which will enable them to find careers in a wide range of industries and research settings. In addition, the prime focus on the use of nano-scale technologies and molecular architecture will give graduates an edge in the market as more industries implement some of the advances in the nanotechnology revolution. The degree has a high research project component and a major thesis in final year of the 4 year degree . Students are exposed to the possibilities that nano-science has to offer from the first year. From their first year onwards students will work alongside researchers in leading research Institutes and develop their laboratory skills and understanding of this emerging field.

This degree targets the emerging field of nano-materials, molecular machines and nano-science. The course will draw on strengths in the Faculties of Science and Engineering and a major strength in research at UoW, namely the 3 materials based Institutes: Intelligent Polymer Research Institute, Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials, BHP Steel Institute.

The courses have a materials chemistry focus supported by foundation studies in physics, mathematics and engineering. Possible elective subjects include further studies in physics, engineering (eg. mechatronics) and biology. There are a total of 5 elective subjects giving students scope to match the course to their interests whilst retaining a core focus on molecular design and characterization of materials at the nano-dimension.
