Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Master of Engineering (Honours) - Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is revolutionising electronic engineering. Nanotechnology encompasses the design and study of devices on a scale of less than 100nm - barely a few hundred atoms across. From ultra-high-speed processors to super accurate sensors, nano-scale devices are transforming science and technology across a broad spectrum of fields, including microelectronics, data storage, medicine and the environment. Drawing on the expertise of nanotechnology research groups at York, this course emphasises those areas of nanotechnology directly relevant to contemporary electronics. It forms part of a broad and strong core programme in electronics and provides ‘hands-on’ opportunities to build and characterise nanoscale devices. York's MEng will cement students' knowledge of fundamental principles and introduce them to advanced concepts. Students will experience a large team software engineering project, as well as managing a substantial individual project, allowing them to develop the knowledge and skills required to become a leader in the industry. With an increased choice of advanced option modules, they'll have the opportunity to engage with world-class researchers and work with the latest innovative technology. Students will graduate with the knowledge required to operate with confidence - as a designer, operator or manager - in the rapidly-expanding world of nanotechnology.
