AUSTRALIA - South Australia - Adelaide - Flinders University - Bachelor of Science in Nanotechnology - BScNano (Hons)

Course length:
Four years full-time or equivalent part-time, including a compulsory Honours year.

Taught on-campus at Flinders. Available to Australian and international students.

Prerequisites:

Biodevices Chemistry
Nanostructures Chemistry, Mathematical Studies and Physics

Applicants who meet the Stage 2 Chemistry prerequisite will only be offered a place in the Biodevices stream.

Applicants who meet the Stage 2 Chemistry, Mathematical Studies and Physics prerequisites can nominate which stream they wish to undertake at enrolment.

What will I study?

Nanotechnology draws on the strengths of all the basic sciences and the course will give you a strong background in these sciences. There is an emphasis on developing computational skills and an awareness of the roles and uses of computers in science and society.

In first year you'll take chemistry, physics, mathematics and specialist topics in Nanotechnology

In subsequent years, you'll take some core topics then specialise in one of two areas. The Biodevices stream includes extensive studies in chemistry and biology. The Nanostructures stream has a stronger emphasis on physics, chemistry and mathematics, including areas such as optoelectronics.

Industry placements in the final year of the course allow students to engage with the workplace environment they will be entering after graduation.

The full program of study, including topic descriptions, is set out in the Course rule and topic information for this degree.

Entry requirements:
