B.A. (Moderatorship) Nanoscience: Physical Sciences

Nanoscience

Students who apply to the Chemical Sciences Stream (TR061) may select Nanoscience as their specialist area for the 3rd and 4th years at the end of the second year provided they take Physics as their approved modules in the first two years. It is also possible to enter Nanoscience through the Physical Sciences stream (TR063).

What is Nanoscience?

Creation of new technologies and devices would not be possible without mastery of advanced materials at the nanoscale. Making devices at the nanoscale can reduce energy costs while increasing speed or adding functionality. Nanodevices may behave in novel ways, not simply miniature versions of macroscopic devices. Nanoscience incorporates applications in energy conversion and storage, photonics, medical diagnostics, ultra-fast electronics and other areas including polymers, lasers, and optoelectronics, and industries such as electronics, telecommunications, healthcare and aerospace. Students in Nanoscience learn the basic physics and chemistry underlying these applications and how they relate to these applications and industries.

Job Opportunity Potential

If you are an international student studying at Trinity, you might be considering internship and graduate work in Ireland, in your home country, or elsewhere. This section provides information for Non EU students on working in Ireland during and after your studies. For information and resources to support an international job search, see our Devex resource which includes international job search advice and information.

Employers value candidates who have more to offer than a good degree with high grades. They look for students who are well rounded and who have experience outside the classroom. Search for and take advantage of opportunities to gain experience, develop your skill set, and gain a clearer picture of what you like and don't like in terms of career options.

For example, you can get involved in some of the many student clubs and societies in college, volunteer or get a part time job. Remember that voluntary work is as valuable as paid work on your CV or resume - it's a great way to demonstrate your skills to future employers. Have a look at the TCD Civic Engagement website and check out volunteering opportunities in Ireland and abroad.
