The Master of Nanotechnology is a 72-unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The course articulates with the 36-unit Graduate Diploma in Nanotechnology, and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the awards. Candidates who have completed the Graduate Diploma are awarded credit for related topics. Up to 18 units of credit may be awarded to students with relevant professional experience.
Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Diploma in Nanotechnology must normally hold a degree in any relevant discipline of science or engineering or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution. Examples of relevant disciplines include but are not limited to chemistry, physics, materials engineering, chemical engineering or biotechnology.
The Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The Master of Nanotechnology is designed to broaden the knowledge and skills of graduates who hold an undergraduate qualification in science, engineering or equivalent, and is not available to graduates who hold an undergraduate qualification in nanotechnology.
The primary aim of this course is to facilitate skills transfer from another relevant area of engineering or science and technology to the study of nanotechnology. Students will develop the capacity to:
Students will:

**Master students may only apply for the research project after completing the 36 units of the first year. The deadlines for applying for the research project are 1st of December and 1st of June. The research projects start on 1st of February and 1st of August. Other starting timeframes will not be considered. The research project cannot be started before the topics , NANO8701 and NANO8702 are passed.
Students who have not completed the 36 units of the first year by 1st of December are still encouraged to register by 1st of December whether they intend to start the research project on 1st of June of the following year.
