Physics with Nanoscience MSci (Hons)

This accredited course with integrated masters blends a solid foundation in core physics with specialist knowledge in nanoscience. It draws from the expertise of the internationally-recognised Nottingham Nanoscience Research Group. You will be taught by staff who are actively involved in this research. This means that our modules benefit from the latest developments in the field. Our teaching has been given the highest rating of Gold by the Teaching Excellence Framework 2017. You may recognise some of our staff from the popular Sixty Symbols YouTube channel.Tailored modules such as Nanophysics and Imaging and Manipulating Nanostructures will develop your specialist expertise in this field. You will gain key skills in microscopy and imaging nanostructures, which you can use in your future career.In the fourth year you will focus on more specialised areas and complete a year-long research project. Under the guidance of our expert staff, you will benefit from a range of learning styles. These include group work, delivering seminars, projects and independent learning.We are proud that research undertaken within the School, by Professor Sir Peter Mansfield, was recognised with a 2003 Nobel Prize for the invention of Magnetic Resonance Imaging body scanners. This technology has already helped more than half a billion people worldwide. More recently, our use of quantum technologies to understand how the brain works is changing the way that neurological conditions are detected and treated.- This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics- Joint 3rd for research quality in physics in the UK (Research Excellence Framework 2014)- Flexibility to transfer between most physics courses
