Undergraduate Course - Course overview
Nanoscience - Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials (N-PCAM) is a four-year degree programme, run jointly by the Schools of Chemistry and Physics at Trinity College Dublini and aided by the investigators and facilities of the Centre for Research in Adaptive Nanodevices and Nanostructures (CRANN). Students will gain a deep and lasting understanding of the science of advanced materials that underpins the nano revolution. Some laboratory training is provided in CRANN, the leading institute for nanoscience in Ireland (www.crann.tcd.ie). This degree programme will equip students to work across a diverse range of industries that employ nanotechnology. The course provides a solid foundation in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics for the first two years and specialises in nanoscience for the final two years.Course overview - Freshman years
In the Freshman years a student studying Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials takes the full course in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as well as special topical tutorials in Nanoscience The freshman students in each year are managed by their respective course coordinators for each year in the Schools of Physics and Chemistry.Nanoscience tutorials - Freshman years
The details of the current Freshman tutorials in nanoscience are listed here. (TCD access only)Course overview - Sophister years
Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials is a moderatorship taught jointly by the Schools of Physics and Chemistry. The Sophister course booklet is available here:Course overview - Junior Sophister year
In the Junior Sophister year a student studying Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials takes specific parts of the Moderatorship courses in Physicss and in Chemistry that are relevant to Nanoscience and Advanced Materials. In addition the student is trained in experimental laboratory aspects of Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials in a dedicated laboratory setting. JS marks contribute to 20% of the final degree.Course overview - Senior Sophister year
In the Senior Sophister year a student studying Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials partakes in a 12 week independent research project at an internationally recognised laboratory that specialises in aspects of nanoscience, advanced materials or semiconductor processing - typically outside of TCD. Students take the Moderatorship lecture modules relevant to Nanoscience and Advanced Materials from the Schools of Physics and Chemistry.Assessment and Examination Procedures
Students will be advised of the examination in Hilary Term. Modules in Physics and in Chemistry are examined according to the rules of the respective schools. In the Senior Sophister year a special paper on problem solving ability together with assessment of the research project contributes 25 ECTS in the ratio 30:70, respectively. The final Moderatorship degree mark includes a JS carry-forward of 20%Local information for registered Nanoscience, Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials students
