BSc (Hons) Natural Sciences specialising in Nanoscience
Fathom the dynamics of the very small and learn how arranging atoms in specific ways can lead to new materials with remarkable functions.
This Natural Sciences course draws together the resources of four central scientific disciplines – chemistry, electronics, physics and mathematics – to delve deep into the hidden world of atoms and molecules. This is a world measured to the nanometer, where a human hair is about 100,000 nanometres thick.
You will develop laboratory skills in our clean room and your final year project could be conducted in and supervised by the York-JEOL Nanocentre. This purpose-built reserach centre is equipped with some of the world’s most sensitive and sophisticated microscopes and enables researchers to see what is happening at the atomic level.
