Overview

This Nanoscience and Nanotechnology course from The University of Lancashire will give you a solid foundation in nanoscience. The nanoscale is where the various branches of science intersect: physics teaches us how electrons behave, chemistry teaches us how they are exchanged between atoms to form molecules, and molecular biology teaches us how nanomachines are ultimately the building blocks of life.

Future careers

Nanotechnology is an exciting and rapidly advancing area which is set to impact almost every industry, company and individual. This course will prepare you for a successful career in this field, whether you’re looking to work in industry, education or research.
On completing the MSc in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, employment potential should be very high.
As an example, the chemical industry provides direct employment for 214,000 people within the UK, where instrumental and analytical tools are part and parcel of day to day R&D activity. The importance of the UK chemical industry to the balance of trade for the country cannot be overstated - it is the UK manufacturing number one exporter, with a trade surplus of £4.5 billion. This has obvious implications on employment prospects, which are generally considered to be good, with a wide variety of industries employing instrumental and analytical chemists in several analytical labs.
