Studying Nano

_{^{Introduction to Nanoscience - NANO2002}}

• Our lecturers are among the world’s best in nanoscience. You will gain insight from their research in fields as diverse as:
• Nanophotonics – control of light within integrated circuits to produce new technologies
• Molecular Self-assembly – harnessing spontaneous nanoscale structures
• Nanoengineering – building structures at the nanoscale for use in materials science
• Quantum information – building quantum machines to solve intractable problems
• Nanomedicine - developing targeted drug delivery
• DNA origami – biological assembly with nanoscale precision

The growing industrial demand for nanoscience and nanotechnology expertise requires graduates able to bridge the boundaries between traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering.

To match this demand, the University of Sydney has identified nanoscience and nanotechnology as priority areas of research and teaching through the foundation of the University of Sydney Nano Institute.

As undergraduate students, you will be taught by academic members of Sydney Nano in our modern teaching spaces in the Sydney Nanoscience Hub. Our approach takes advantage of our studio teaching environment and uses active and inquiry-based learning.

NANO2002 provides a solid introduction to our interdisciplinary approach with perspectives from chemistry, physics and engineering. It presents an introductory view of the properties of nanostructured materials and the physical properties they generate, as well as an overview of the characterisation and fabrication tools for nanoscience across the different disciplines. 

_{^{Modern Nanoscience - NANO4001}}

This unit provides a more in-depth knowledge of modern Nanoscience, deepening your knowledge of the advances in Physics, Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering at the nanoscale. You will be immersed in ideas from experts and leaders in the fields of nanoscience, as invited Guest Lecturers.
