Course programme

  • An online, part-time University of Oxford qualification aimed at industry;
  • Three modules giving a thorough introduction to nanotechnology and the behaviour and characterisation of nanoparticles;
  • The course is taken part-time so students can complete it whilst continuing to work full-time;
  • The course is taught online and can be taken from anywhere in the world;
  • Tutors provide online support and replicate electronically the famed Oxford tutorial system;
  • Assessment throughout the modules ensures that students can monitor their progress;
  • The course has a dedicated Course Director and administration team accustomed to supporting students undertaking distance learning courses;
  • Students have access to staff at the University of Oxford’s Begbroke Science Park, particularly the Course Director, Dr Christiane Norenberg;
  • Throughout the course, students can use the University of Oxford’s excellent electronic library resources to enable them to complete the assignment tasks.
  • Module 1: The Wider Context of Nanotechnology (runs from October - December) looks at the current state of the technology and addresses its implications;
  • Module 2: The Fundamental Science of Nanotechnology (runs from January - March) explains the physical and mathematical foundations of nanoscale phenomena and properties of nanoscale materials;
  • Module 3: Fundamental Characterisation for Nanotechnology (runs from April - July with a residential weekend) explores methods for investigating nanoparticles, thin films and nanostructures.
  • Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the physical principles, mathematical methods and techniques appropriate for solving nanotechnology problems and be able to apply them to industrial problems through a critical comprehension of the relative advantages and disadvantages of these methods;
  • Demonstrate an understanding of some of the most common applications of nanoscale phenomena and how these relate to the solution of nanotechnology problems in industry;
  • Manage their learning and research and conduct independent and effective study;
  • Apply skills gained in analytical techniques from across the physical sciences.
