High-achieving students can undertake a program of study in chemical sciences and materials engineering in only five years with this degree combination. It prepares you with a broad-based foundation in chemistry before continuing to the masters, which provides an understanding of advanced processing and fabrication methods of engineering materials and their characterisation.

Graduate Diploma

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. Students who have completed the four-year undergraduate nanotechnology course at Flinders cannot be admitted to the graduate diploma but may have 36 units of credit towards completion of the masters program. Students who have completed the three-year undergraduate nanotechnology course at Flinders cannot be admitted to the graduate diploma or masters degrees.

Masters

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.

Take a pathway that allows high-achieving students to complete a program of study in mechanical and biomedical engineering in only five years. You will study a variety of areas including dynamics, engineering design, biomechanics and biomedical instrumentation. The final year includes studies in advanced mechanical design and innovations in medical devices, allows for further elective topics to be chosen, and includes a masters thesis.

Applicants must normally hold one of the following:

• Flinders University’s Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science (specialisations M1-M2)
• a relevant Bachelor of Engineering, or Bachelor of Engineering Technology, Bachelor of Engineering Science
• an equivalent overseas qualification with an average grade of credit (5.0) or greater.

Students without such a qualification should apply for the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science.

Admission pathways Applicants can apply for this course using Year 12 qualifications, previous higher education study, TAFE/VET qualifications, or through adult entry (STAT/Foundation Studies/tertiary preparation course). Find the entry path that’s right for you. Explore our pathways Choosing your preferences When choosing your preferences through SATAC, another Flinders degree you might want to include in your list is the Bachelor of Science (Chemical Sciences) (Honours).

Applicants must normally hold one of the following appropriate qualifications:

• an engineering degree
• a science degree
• an Australian TAFE diploma or advanced diploma (AQF Level 5) qualification in an appropriate field plus seven years relevant work experience
• an equivalent overseas qualification.

In addition, you are expected to be able to demonstrate previous study or recognised prior learning in communication and planning skills, mathematics (equivalent to first year university mathematics), and science (equivalent to university undergraduate topics in chemistry and physics). Some basic knowledge of other relevant sciences and previous study in chemistry/materials is assumed.
