Nanoscience and the study of nanomaterials bring together all facets of science to study, understand and apply all things small.
Nanomaterials have had a profound influence on the direction of research ever since the scalable production of tiny materials became possible. Now, researchers apply nanomaterials in areas of research and future technologies that will solve many of our societal needs - from bone and muscular regeneration to new age batteries.
Materials physics and nanoscience are among one the fastest growing and most exciting areas of research at Sussex. Studying with us, you’ll learn how to apply the fundamentals of physics and chemistry to nanomaterials and their emerging technologies.
This course is for you if you have a physics, chemistry and/or engineering background and are interested in an academic or industrial career in nanomaterials.
Careers
To usher in the next industrial revolution based on nanotechnologies, there’s a high demand for non-scientists. As a graduate, you will be ready for industry roles in fields such as:
You will also be well equipped to take a research degree in physics, chemistry, biology, or engineering.
Degree requirements: You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree or above. Subject-specific requirements: Your qualification should be in a physics- chemistry- or engineering-based subject. Other degrees will be considered on an individual basis, but you are generally expected to have a significant physics, chemistry, or engineering background. If you are interested in the physics stream you should have taken a module in quantum mechanics. You may also be considered for the course if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.
