You will acquire a broad knowledge of physics, while developing your expertise in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Taught by leading experts, you will learn: the skills required to manipulate and visualise individual atoms and molecules using scanning probe microscopy; how forces at the nanoscale differ from those observed in macroscopic systems; and what strategies should be used to build nanoscale molecular machinery. You will also have the opportunity to undertake a major research project.

You will have a sound knowledge of physics and the field of nanoscience and will be well prepared for collaborative research ventures.
