Students in satisfactory standing may select the Nanoscience Concentration or Minor after they have completed at least 21 units (3.5 full-course equivalents). Note: If applications exceed the capacity of the Minor or Concentration in Nanoscience, priority will be given to students in satisfactory standing in the BSc or BSc Honours in Applied Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology, Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Ecology, Geology, Geophysics, Physics, Plant Biology or Zoology. See also 3.2 Admission.

Any course used to satisfy Major or Honours field requirements may not be applied to the Nanoscience Concentration or Minor.

The field of Nanoscience is defined as:

• Biology 241 and 243
• Chemistry 201, 203, 211 and 213
• Geology 201 and 202 or 203
• All courses labelled 200-level Mathematics except Mathematics 205
• All courses labelled Nanoscience
• Physics 211, 221, 223, 227 and 255

See also Section 3 (Faculty Regulations), Subsection 3.4A (Program Requirements - Major and Honours Programs) and Subsection 3.5B (Course Selection and Registration - Introductory Courses for Science Degree Programs).

1. 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) – One of Mathematics 249 or 265 or 275

2. 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) – One of Mathematics 267 or 277 or 211 or 213 

3. 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) – One of the following sets of courses:

• Biology 241 and 243
• Chemistry 201 or 211 and 203 or 213
• Geology 201 and 202 or 203
• Physics 211 or 221 and 223, or Physics 227 and 255

4. 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) – Nanoscience 301 and 401

5. 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) – Additional Nanoscience courses

Note: Students may complete no more than 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) additional courses labelled Nanoscience beyond those listed above.

Same as for the Concentration up to (4):

12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) – Nanoscience 301, 401 and 502

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) – Additional Nanoscience courses

Note: Students may complete no more than 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) additional courses labelled Nanoscience beyond those listed above.
