Nanotechnology involves the study of matter and machines down to scales of a billionth of a metre. From the tiny components that make our smartphones work to new medical diagnostic tools, it continues to change the world. This degree builds on the MPhys Physics programme, giving you a more advanced understanding of nanotechnology and nanoscience – and providing the skills you need to work at the nanoscale. You’ll be introduced to the fundamental concepts of nanoscience from year one, building on this in later years with more in-depth study of light and matter interactions, quantum devices and nanomaterials. With a robust physics training and specialist nanotechnology expertise, you’ll have a huge range of career options to choose from. Your experimental skills will be sought after in industry R&D, and you’ll be well equipped for further research at PhD level. If you decide on a career outside physics, your transferable skills, such as computation and coding, statistical analysis, communication and problem solving, will be in demand in numerous professions. Physics at Southampton is ranked 3rd in the UK for graduate career prospects in the Guardian University Guide 2022. This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics.

In addition to studying core physics modules, the course includes key study in quantum devices, nanoscience, light and matter, molecular materials, processing of devices and the molecular basis of life. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field, you will also learn how physics, photonics, electronics, chemistry and biochemistry relate to nanotechnology. In your third and fourth year you can choose from a range of optional modules. You could choose to study a module within Physics and Astronomy, or study a subject from the wider University, such as law, business or languages. Learn more about optional modules here: http://www.phys.soton.ac.uk/programmes/f390-mphys-physics-nanotechnology#modules Throughout your degree, you’ll also develop key transferable skills such as problem solving, data analysis and computing, which are sought after by a range employers. During year two, you’ll also have access to a programme of physics-focused career sessions, timetabled to fit in with your studies, which include application and interview workshops as well as talks from visiting professionals.

Assessment in the first and second year is a mixture of unseen written examinations, marked problem-based coursework and laboratory work. In the third year assessment is mainly by examination; laboratory work involves reports on several techniques of experimental physics and a dissertation; in the fourth year students prepare and present seminars and laboratory work is replaced by a project which involves continuous assessment, written reports and an oral examination.
