To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Enhanced Program for High Achievers.
The Nanotechnology Specialisation is offered as part of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Enhanced Program for High Achievers and requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The Specialisation is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
Specialisations may have different admission requirements to other programs of study available in the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Enhanced Program for High Achievers. In order to undertake a Specialisation students must be admitted to the Specialisation program.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Successful completion of SACE Year 12 Chemistry, Physics and Mathematical Studies or the equivalent are required for entry to the Quantum Nanostructures stream, while successful completion of SACE Year 12 Chemistry and at least two of the following SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) subjects; Biology, Mathematical Studies, Specialist Mathematics, Physics, Geology, or the equivalent is normally required for entry into the Biomedical Nanotechnology Stream.
Students will only be permitted to tertiary transfer on the commencement of second year.
In the Nanotechnology Specialisation the topic sequence forms a coherent and explicit path towards a comprehensive appreciation of, and competence in, the appropriate underlying science. This course will educate students with the range of skills inherent in nanotechnology graduates:
Graduates are expected to be able to:
The Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Nanotechnology) Enhanced Program for High Achievers requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time), including the fourth year for students who meet the requirements for progression to the honours year.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Nanotechnology) Enhanced Program for High Achievers, a student must complete 144 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic according to the program of study below.
Upon completion of 108 units students will be informed about whether they have been accepted into the Honours year. The entry requirement is normally a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0 or more in the final 36 units of study prior to the Honours year. Students who are not accepted into the Honours year will be awarded the Bachelor of Science.
It is possible to elect to exit after three years of full-time equivalent study with a Bachelor of Science.
Elective topics may be selected from any offered within the University or, with approval from the College of Science and Engineering, from outside the University, provided any course and prerequisite requirements are met.
Except with the permission of Dean (Education), students may not enrol in a topic in Fourth Year until they have passed 108 units.
Not all topics are necessarily available in a given year.
