Course overview
This four year honours degree course will teach you how to use and apply the principles of chemistry and physics to solve practical problems associated with the development of new technologies. To understand how to make, develop, control and use advanced materials it is advisable to have a thorough grounding in both chemistry and physics. The course code in TCD is TR076.
What are Advanced materials?
The ability to create new technologies would not be possible without the use of advanced materials. Advanced materials include superconductors, polymers, lasers and optoelectronics and they can be found in applications ranging from computers and electronics, to telecommunications and broadcasting, to airlines and healthcare.
Is this the right course for you?
This course will appeal to you if you are interested in science and have a strong desire to apply your scientific skills to industries and technologies that are shaping the future of the 21st century.
Course Content
In the first two years (Freshman years) you will follow the Science (TR071) programme, taking chemistry, physics and mathematics. In the Sophister years (three and four), you will study specialised courses in materials physics and chemistry. Some laboratory training is provided in CRANN (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices) – www.crann.tcd.ie – which is Ireland’s research centre for nanoscale materials. Many students carry out their final year project abroad, mainly in the USA, Australia, France and Germany.
