How to Study Nanoscience at Trinity

Nanoscience brings together chemistry and physics to understand, design and control materials at the smallest scales. This four-year honours degree gives you a strong grounding in both subjects and teaches you how to apply this knowledge to the development of advanced materials and new technologies.

At Trinity, Nanoscience can be entered through either TR061 Chemical Sciences or TR063 Physical Sciences through the CAO.

However, once you have joined either TR061 or TR063, the module choices you make from your first week at Trinity are important in determining your later eligibility to enter the Nanoscience moderatorship.

TR061 and TR063 Module Choices

If you are a prospective student interested in Nanoscience, it is important to understand which modules you will need to take in your first and second years to remain eligible to enter the Nanoscience moderatorship in third year.

Put simply, students entering through TR061 Chemical Sciences need to ensure that they take sufficient Physics, while students entering through TR063 Physical Sciences need to ensure that they take sufficient Chemistry. The pages below explain the required module choices for each pathway.

If you are already a first-year (Junior Fresh) or second-year (Senior Fresh) TR061 or TR063 student considering Nanoscience, these pages will also help you check that your module choices keep you on the appropriate pathway.
