Nanotechnology
Why study nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is the science of the very small - working on a scale of nanometres, a millionth of a millimetre. New products and processes are developed where physics, chemistry, biology and engineering meet. Nanotechnology applications include computer technology, healthcare, sustainability and helping to make vehicles and machines faster, lighter and stronger.
We offer an undergraduate program and a combined Bachelor and Master's course. Top students can blend a Master's qualification in nanotechnology with an honours-level science program.
Career opportunities
Our graduates have been placed and employed in businesses such as SGS, Rio Tinto, Dulux, Starpharma, Air Services Australia, Crocodile Gold Corp., Australian Radiation Services, CETEC-Foray and the Australian Academy of Technological Science and Engineering.
You can find work in roles such as physicist, chemist, space physicist or research scientist.
