Total credits: 60
Entry requirements:
BSc (Hons) at least 2ii classification or equivalent in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
School/Unit responsible for the parenting of students and programme:
Centre for Molecular Nanoscience (CMNS)
Examination board through which the programme will be considered:
The programme has a dedicated Examination Committee
Programme specification:
The programme will be delivered jointly by Leeds and Sheffield Universities. Students will be based at either one or other site. Whilst all students will be expected to attend all lectures, the fact that students will be distanced from some module leaders outside lecture hours means that remote learning support is necessary. This is provided by a combination of paper based and computer based resources, including web-based course material and supplementary notes.
