Our MSc Nanoscience degree explores the frontiers of science on the nanoscale. It provides a strong grounding in basic nanoscience before progressing to advanced topics. The strongly interdisciplinary research in the physics of life sciences groups links the fundamental science to applications in chemistry, biology and medicine.
Taught classes on this Masters course have been developed from the many years of nanoscience research at the University in areas such as:
The course will be of interest to physical science graduates looking to work in the field of nanoscience. It’s also suitable for those with an industrial background as a further training opportunity and a way of gaining insights into topics at the forefront of academic research.
Two semesters of formal teaching are followed by a three-month intensive project.
Following the taught classes, you’ll undertake a research-intensive project in a relevant nanoscience topic. Projects take place primarily in research labs located in the University’s physical science departments. There are also opportunities for relevant industrial placements.
Our teaching is based on lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratory experiments, and research projects. The program is interdisciplinary, with the majority of modules being taught by the Department of Physics. The Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry provides a module on nanochemistry and its applications.
The assessment of most taught modules is based on a written examination and continuous coursework (about 20%), and, in some modules, an oral examination. The final project is assessed mainly by a report supplemented by a talk, an oral examination (viva) and an assessment of the performance and engagement during the project by the supervisor.
The programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) as the professional body for physics in the UK and Ireland.
This will be awarded to a meritorious student of at least distinction level on any MSc course offered by the Department. It will be awarded to the student who achieves the highest credit weighted average over the whole course portfolio.
This will be awarded to a meritorious student of at least distinction level on any MSc course offered by the Department. It will be awarded to the student who achieves the highest mark for the MSc Project.
This course is run by the Department of Physics and the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry .
The Physics Department recently invested £4 million in new quantum technology laboratories and a complete refurbishment of the teaching laboratories. Funding of £150,000 was secured from the Quantum Hubs for new state-of-the-art advanced experimental kits for training and demonstration experiments, in particular in the quantum science, photonics and nanoscience areas. Furthermore, Strathclyde recently invested £15 million in refurbishing our John Anderson building (home of the Department of Physics) in order to enhance environmental sustainability and reduce our carbon footprint.
Departmental facilities include:
Academic requirements Minimum second-class (2.2) Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in Physics (Mathematics and Physics, Theoretical Physics, Astrophysics, Engineering Physics etc), Chemistry, or a related subject. Applicants from an engineering discipline need to have had sufficient exposure to fundamental physics courses in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, or need to demonstrate that they can acquire the necessary background. Contact us about your application and the possibility of conversion courses. Don’t meet the academic entry requirements? We offer the Pre-Masters Preparation Course at the University of Strathclyde International Study Centre, for international students (non-UK/Ireland). English language requirements You must have an English language minimum score of IELTS 6.0 (with no component below 5.5). We offer comprehensive English language courses for students whose IELTS scores are below 6.0. Please see ELTD for full details . As a university, we now accept many more English language tests in addition to IELTS for overseas applicants, for example, TOEFL and PTE Cambridge.
