Benchmarking the quality of nanotechnology Masters education |
|
(Nanowerk News) The Institute of Nanotechnology, in collaboration with a consortium of course providers and industrial representatives, is now working towards benchmarking the quality of nanotechnology education and training at the Masters level through a peer-reviewed accreditation process. More information will be available later in the year. | |
About the Nanotechnology Masters Course Directory | |
Many universities are recognising that a new approach to education and training is needed to meet the needs of the burgeoning nanoscience and nanotechnology research and development communities. | |
This has resulted in an expansion in the number of new Nano Masters degree courses. These courses differ widely in emphasis and content; for example some may be slanted towards nanomaterials, others to the life sciences. | |
To this end, an easily accessible website has been created, where students and employers alike can search for the Nano Masters courses that best suit their competences and skills needs. | |
