Photonics and nanoscience
There is already considerable demand for graduates with appropriate skills in photonics-related industries in Australia, and this demand is dramatically increasing.
In nanostructure science, recent developments mean that a wide range of new opportunities for research and applications in nanotechnology and related areas are now presenting themselves.
The knowledge and skills in photonics and nanoscience acquired by graduates of this degree will provide an ideal background for a career in these challenging fields.
