Awarding institution: University of Nottingham
Course title: MSc in Nanoscience

Modes: Full-Time

Course structure

Work -   The “M.Sc. in Nanoscience” is the first taught Masters course to be offered in collaboration between the Schools of Chemistry, Mechanical, Materials & Manufacturing Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Pharmacy. A one-year full-time course, it consists of two major components:
(1) A selection from a set of level D and level 4 modules in Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy, Mechanical, Materials & Manufacturing Engineering, and Pharmacy (2) A project supervised within either the Nottingham, Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre, Schools of Chemistry, Mechanical, Materials & Manufacturing Engineering, Physics and Astronomy or Pharmacy.
The M.Sc course in Nanoscience at the University of Nottingham is a taught course comprising 180 credits. Of these, 100 credits, comprising 10 core modules and 20 credits chosen from a list of 7 optional modules are taught. A research project worth 60 credits is undertaken in the summer.
Assessment -   Assessment is by a combination of unseen written examinations, coursework and oral presentations.
Assessment methods are of two main types, through formal University examinations and continuous assessment (notably research projects, communication skills modules, practical work). As student knowledge, experience and confidence grows they undertake wider–ranging project work leading to an oral presentation, independent research project and major written report.
The degree of Master will be awarded with Merit provided that the candidate has satisfied all the requirements of the course and has achieved an overall course average of at least 60%. The degree of Master will be awarded with Distinction provided that the candidate has satisfied all the requirements of the course and has achieved an overall course average of at least 70%.

Awarding institution: University of Oxford
Course title: Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology

Modes: Part-Time Online

Course structure

Work -   This online Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology comprises three modules each of which lasts for 10 weeks Students are taught entirely online. Tutors provide online support and replicate the Oxford tutorial system electronically. Within each module, there are weekly online tutorials lasting for one hour as well as assignments and problem sheets. The modules include a blend of individual work studying online learning materials and group work in the form of online discussions and research. Each module can be studied independently as a stand-alone course, or taken together to lead to an Oxford University Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology. At the end of the third module, students are required to attend a residential weekend in nano-scale materials characterization based in Oxford. Successful completion of module 1 is equivalent to 10 CATS points at postgraduate level M. Successful completion of modules 2 and 3 is each equivalent to 25 CATS points at postgraduate level M.
Assessment -   For each module, students must satisfactorily complete the coursework assessment. Assessed work will be of variable length, depending on the amount of evidence that is available on the topic in question, up to a maximum length of 6,000 words. Assessment will be on the basis of a report of individual research and group discussions. In addition to the formal formative work submitted for assessment, students will also be expected to complete problem questions to consolidate the studied materials and challenge and review questions to encourage a deeper understanding and application of the materials. Students must also participate in weekly synchronous online tutorials. Assessment throughout the modules ensures that students can monitor their progress.

Awarding institution: University of Surrey
Course title: MSc in Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronic Devices

Modes: Full-Time

Course structure

Work -   180 credits (8 taught modules worth 15 credits each and an individual project worth 60 credits). 6 compulsory modules and students may take one optional module each semester. One of the taught modules is an Advanced Experimental Methods course consisting of part lecture and part small group lab work.
Assessment -   For the taught modules there is a mixture of exams and assignments, often looking the applications or commercial successes of nanotechnology. In Advanced experimental Method the 40% assignment is made up of writing a report in the format of a journal article. The balance of lab/assignments and examination is determined on the basis of the intended learning outcomes for the individual module. See module details. The project is written up as a dissertation and is assessed independently by an examiner and the project supervisor.
