310864 v.1 Chemistry and Physics Stream (Nanotechnology)


Introduction

The chemistry component within this stream is comprised of units that focus on physical chemistry and its role in the context of Nanotechnology. Students also take second and third year units in either organic chemistry or inorganic chemistry. The physics component of this stream is comprised of units that provide a grounding in mathematics and physical measurements, along with third year units in the areas of solid state physics and advanced characterisation in the field of Nanotechnology.
