Nanomaterials and Materials Science MSc

Become an expert in materials science with nanotechnology specialisation.<br/><br/>**Course description**<br/>Nanotechnology has had a revolutionary influence on the development of novel materials over the last 20 years, and many new types of materials are now available, such as nano-carbon, nano-silica, and nano-magnetics. These materials open new ways of designing advanced devices (sensors, electronics, data and energy storage) as well as improved structural and functional materials. <br/><br/>The course is designed to equip students with the know-how and skills for becoming an expert in materials science with a specialisation in nanotechnology. <br/><br/>We provide a foundation semester in the general area of science and engineering of materials, followed by a nanoscience and nanotechnology-specific semester to give you comprehensive nanomaterials expertise. The course content reflects the highly interdisciplinary nature of this subject and allows students to specialise via options, and a major project.<br/><br/>**Accreditation**<br/>Fully accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3). Graduates will have the underpinning knowledge for later professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).<br/><br/>Please see our University website for the most up-to-date course information.
