So I'm going to the University of Leeds in September to study Nanotech with Physics. TSR doesn't have any discussion really for the subject so decided to create one. Any others studying Nanotech? Information on career prospects, career choices and why you wanted to do Nanotech would be a good starting point.

I'm still at 6th form, but I'd be interested to know why you chose to do nanotech with physics instead of straight physics? It might be a good way of getting this thread started too...

I still don't really know what I want to do as a career so I guess I was trying to broaden my career prospects. Nanotechnology is being incorporated into every aspect of society which is a real plus point I guess. Although the degree is with physics there's a lot of chemistry involved too.... Guess It's interdisciplinary. What about you, what are you hoping to study?

Have you looked at your degree course structure? Nanotech will probably only be incorporated into the final year, first 2 years will most likely be straight physics with 1 or maybe 2 optional modules which help you for your final year

Ah fair enough. I was just wondering because I applied for straight physics this year and didn't really think about any 'physics with...' subjects. I was wondering what people's reasons were for picking these instead of straight physics.

Hi, I'm about to apply at the uni of leeds with nanotechnology. So I've read that there is going to be an interview. Is it very difficult? I would love you to tell me about this interview and how you get inside the uni. Thank you

I had no interview, got AAB offer, which is pretty easy to get...
The thing is, I don't want to go in Leeds... But so far it is only offer I have... So Leeds is my backup
I believe that to aplpy for Nanotech, you should have Maths, Physics, Chemistry and not necessary - Further Maths.
With those subjects it is possible to apply in any uni for any engineering course.
