Overview

The role of chemistry and chemists in creation, development and evolution of nanotechnology are known to any scientists or men of understanding. This is the motive behind defining and compiling the present collection.

This educational planning covers the Master’s course in nanoscience and nanotechnology-nanochemistry. In the Master’s, the student gets familiar with the concepts, tools and applications of nanotechnology, and gets prepared for the PhD by choosing his/her thesis.

Degree: Master of Science (M.Sc)

Field of study: Nanochemistry

Faculty: Science

 Roles and abilities of graduates:

  • Responsible for research on nanoscience and nanotechnology
  • Cooperation with nanoscience and nanotechnology research institutes
  • Readiness to pursue higher education

Educational units

The number of units required to complete a master’s degree in nanochemistry is 28 as follows:

Course type Total Course Credit
Compulsory Courses 9
Optional Courses 10
Seminar 1
Thesis 8

 

– Compulsory courses:

They include 9 theoretical credits taken by the student preferably in the first semester after meeting prerequisites (Compensatory Courses).

– Optional courses:

There are a set of theoretical courses and seminar 2 in the following table. The student is also able to select 3 units of their optional courses from other courses of Master’s Degree and PhD with his supervisor’s confirmation

– Seminar:

Seminar 1:

This seminar is compulsory with the subject of reviewing and presenting a topic from the recent scientific materials in the field of nanotechnology to improve the researching skills and knowledge of the students. The seminar takes about one hour and the attendance of graduates and postgraduates in nanoscience and nanotechnology- nanochemistry- will be necessary, in accordance with the regulations approved by the higher education council of the faculty.

Seminar 2: This seminar is optional (elective) under the same to terms and conditions as seminar 1.

– Thesis:

  • The choosing of the supervisor and the thesis subject must be organized up to the beginning of the second semester at the most.

Terms and conditions of entry

  • Having a Bachelor’s Degree in accordance with the rules of the National Organization for Educational Testing and, preferably, in the relevant disciplines such as science, engineering and medicine
  • Gaining the university admission through the entrance examination

Tables of lessons

These courses are not needed for students who has completed these courses during the Bachelor’s Degree or has obtained the required pass mark at the entrance examination of the Master’s Degree (the second stage of the examination).
