RMIT University

Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology)/Bachelor of Science (Applied Sciences)

RMIT University

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A

It's been almost half a century since Richard Feynman first imagined nanotechnology, but it’s only recent developments that have allowed scientists to fully explore this theory – leading to a world of potential benefits and commercial applications from mobile phones to solar panels; and from cosmetics to breakthrough medicine. The Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology) / Bachelor of Science (Applied Sciences) degree is truly multidisciplinary. By combining fundamental physical theory, chemistry principles, and a focus on applications to the design and study of nanomaterials, it is designed to give you the skills and knowledge you’ll need to work in the rapidly growing area of nanotechnology. Through your studies, you’ll receive a strong grounding in the science and applications of nanoscale materials, with the opportunity to major in either chemistry or physics.

Further information

Nanotechnology graduates find research or industry-based careers in Australia and overseas. People with skills and qualifications in nanotechnology will be in high demand. Graduate shortages have also been identified in the nano-enabling specialisations of: chemistry-particularly polymer, colloidal, organic and bio-inorganic chemistry; materials science and engineering; microelectronics fabrication; and meteorology. Many graduates go on to higher study (master and/or PhD) in order to pursue a career in nanotechnology research. Others go on to work in a wide variety of industries. Graduates are currently employed in telecommunications, computing, defence, solar energy, medicine, aerospace, paints and coatings, cosmetics, and environmental remediation.
