The primary aim of this suite of degrees is to facilitate transfer of skills from another relevant area of engineering or science and technology to the study of nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is science at the molecular level. Nanotechnology, a term that embraces a wide spectrum of technological endeavours across a range of scientific and technological disciplines – such as chemistry, physics, engineering, and biological and biomedical sciences – is attracting tremendous attention in industrialised countries worldwide both in terms of fundamental scientific research and technological development. Nanotechnology is predicted to be a technological hallmark of the 21st century.
Interest in nanotechnology from industry, government agencies, investors, entrepreneurs and from the general public is likely to grow rapidly over the next decade with growth rates exceeding those seen in other areas of science.

Whatever the environment, commercial or research, employment opportunities will be at the cutting edge of technology. Graduates of this specialisation may find research-based careers.
Potential occupations include:
There’s no one definition for ‘nanotechnology,’ but we like to think of it as the organisation and manipulation of molecules to form new and useful structures. It involves knowledge from chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. Since atoms make up everything on Earth—from the composition of our own bodies to the food we eat and the energy we consume—nanotechnology has huge implications for our future. Nanotechnology touches many aspects of our everyday lives, such as particles used to make sunscreen transparent or to control the slow release of drugs.
The graduate diploma provides a comprehensive coverage of the fundamental knowledge and skills in the core areas of nanotechnology. The masters covers fundamental knowledge and skills in core areas and subsequently extends this via advanced study of selected areas. The topics build upon your undergraduate studies by adding problem-based learning exercises and other assessment items that provide the necessary development of higher level cognition (synthesis, interpretation, critical thought). This assumes that you already have a degree and in many cases significant work experience.
At the core of the second year of the masters is an extended research project in which the knowledge and skills gained in the first year are applied to a specific problem. The project will also equip you with expert skills in advanced experimental tools in nanotechnology, which will further enhance your employment prospects in the industry.
Applicants for the Graduate Diploma in Nanotechnology must normally hold a degree in any relevant discipline of science or engineering or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution.
Applicants for the Master of Nanotechnology must normally hold a degree in any relevant discipline of science or engineering or equivalent from an approved tertiary institution.
Examples of relevant disciplines include but are not limited to biology, biotechnology, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials engineering, medicine (requiring a minor in a science discipline), or physics. Mathematics and earth sciences are not viewed as relevant areas of science.
Applicants who have completed an undergraduate nanotechnology course at Flinders, or equivalent are not eligible for the graduate diploma or masters degree.
