The Graduate Diploma in Nanotechnology is a 36-unit program offered by the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering.
The course articulates with the 18-unit Graduate Certificate in Nanotechnology and the Master of Nanotechnology, and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the three awards.
Students who have completed the graduate certificate are awarded up to 18-units of credit towards the graduate diploma. Students who have completed the graduate diploma are awarded credit for related topics towards the masters.
Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Certificate 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 Faculty Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
Students who have completed the four-year undergraduate Nanotechnology course at Flinders cannot be admitted to the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma but may have 36 units of credit towards completion of the Masters program.
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:
Upon successful graduation students will:
