At the University of Waterloo students will have the opportunity to discover how to manipulate individual atoms and molecules in Materials and Nanosciences. As one of the top nanoscience programs in Canada (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021), this program has lots to offer, including paid co-op opportunities. Students will learn the ins and outs of designing composite materials, ceramics, semiconductor materials, fuel cells, energy storage devices, solar cells, and more. And thanks to small classes, students will have plenty of opportunity to connect with other students and professors.

Materials and Nanoscience is a mix of chemistry, physics, and math. Students will also take materials science courses where they learn about what makes a substance unique.
