To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the Bachelor of Science (Specialisations).
The Nanotechnology Specialisation requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The Specialisation is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Chemistry, Physics and Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or the equivalent are required for entry to the Quantum Nanostructures stream, while successful completion of SACE Stage 2 Chemistry only will allow entry into the Biomedical Nanotechnology stream.
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. It also aims to develop a range of transferable research, analytical and communication skills including the capacity to:
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
To qualify for the Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology) a student must complete 108 units, with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
No more than 45 units of First Year level topics may be included in the 108 units for the degree. A topic cannot be counted twice.
Elective topics to complete 108 units 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.
Not all topics are necessarily available in a given year.
