MSc Nanomaterials Chemistry (1 Year Full Time) The MSc Nanomaterials Chemistry course will give you the opportunity to learn about the synthesis, characterisation, and application of nanomaterials to technologies that are shaping the future. You will acquire knowledge and key skills in the application of modern materials in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, electronics and catalysis. Science and Engineering graduates interested in the dynamic field of nanomaterials are encouraged to apply. The key focus of the course is the chemistry of nanoscale devices and particularly the design of responsive materials. There is strong emphasis on developing technical skills and professional attributes. Hence the course will equip you with understanding of the sector, technical capability and relevant subject knowledge for a career in the high-tech materials industry in Ireland and abroad.

Nanosized materials exhibit different optical and electronic properties than the bulk scale. These properties can be harnessed for a range of applications from imaging to catalysis. In this picture the beautiful colours of gold nanoparticles ranging in size from red 20nm to blue 130nm can be seen. Images Š UCD Research
