Nanoscience is the study of phenomena on a scale ranging from the wavelength of light, down to the size of atoms. It is a rapidly developing field, continually producing fascinating results in many different fields of study. This programme is based on physics but includes content from chemistry and biology to give an important appreciation of how all the sciences have new effects to be observed and new applications to be discovered.

This degree provides an excellent start for students wanting to work in nanoscience, a field expected to grow in importance and breadth of application for many years. Based in Physics, the degree is also a valuable qualification for graduates moving into other jobs demanding numeracy, physics knowledge and problem-solving skills.
