Foundation Studies - Engineering and Science (FS022SES) (108492M) + Bachelor of Science - Nanotechnology + Bachelor of Science- Applied Sciences (BP247ASCDD) (060826E)

Foundation Studies - Engineering and Science (FS022SES) (108492M):Foundation Studies is chosen by international students all over the world as their pathway to higher education at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Foundation Studies is a fully owned entity of the university. The program provides students with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for their future academic success.

Located in the heart of the vibrant city of Melbourne, close to cafés, shops, arts and entertainment precincts, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Training’s Foundation Studies specialist staff support students every step of the way. The university provides opportunities to develop their global and social network, setting them up for success at the university and into the future.

To ensure students get the best start to their studies, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has invested in careers counselling, academic and welfare support for international students to access when and where it suits them.

Foundation Studies gives students the opportunity to study the subjects that align with their interests and study goals. They can choose from streams in: • Art, Design and Architecture • Business • Communication and Social Context • Engineering and Science • Health • Information Technology (IT)

Bachelor of Science - Nanotechnology + Bachelor of Science- Applied Sciences (BP247ASCDD) (060826E):

Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of material that is less than a micrometer, enabling manipulation of matter at the atomic scale. This branch of science is radically changing industry and society, and is creating exciting new job opportunities. It's been almost half a century since Richard Feynman first imagined nanotechnology, but it’s only recent developments that have allowed scientists to fully explore this theory – leading to a world of potential benefits and commercial applications from mobile phones to solar panels; and from cosmetics to breakthrough medicine.

The Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology) / Bachelor of Science (Applied Sciences) degree is truly multidisciplinary. By combining fundamental physical theory, chemistry principles, and a focus on applications to the design and study of nanomaterials, it is designed to give students the skills and knowledge they will need to work in the rapidly growing area of nanotechnology. Through students' studies, they will receive a strong grounding in the science and applications of nanoscale materials, with the opportunity to major in either chemistry or physics.
