Physics and Nanotechnology (BSc)
Course Code: B1029
Physics has a long and distinguished history, and underpins our modern technology. Perhaps more importantly, physics is also found at the cutting edge of science in the fields of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The Physics and Nanotechnology major combines an essential core of classical and modern physics with units that provide the background for working in the rapidly developing research and technology area of Nanoscience. The core physics units can be complemented by minors in related areas to provide a strong foundation from which specialised areas and interests can be developed.
