The Nanotechnology specialization is a collaborative graduate program offered through six member departments in Science and Engineering, and the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN). Students take a diverse array of graduate courses in nanotechnology, in addition to core physics courses.This program is a research-based MSc degree. Students work closely with a graduate supervisor (determined prior to admission) to produce original research in an area of Nanotechnology, such as Bio-nanotechnology, Soft Matter physics or Quantum Materials, culminating in an MSc thesis.
