To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the Bachelor of Science.
The Nanotechnology Specialisation is offered as part of the Bachelor of Science and requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The Specialisation is offered by the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences, withIn The Faculty 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 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 only will allow entry into the Biomedical Nanotechnology stream.
In The Nanotechnology Specialisation with a Quantum Nanostructures stream 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:
To qualify for the Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology) specialisation a student must complete 108 units, with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the the Bachelor of Science program of study. The program of study for The Specialisation is detailed below:
