No Trinity Elective available in Semester 1.

Trinity Elective (Nanoscience students obliged to take a TE in S2) (5 credits)

Note that as of 12th June 2023 a Nanoscience student must take their one required Trinity Elective in Semester 2. In Semester 2 the choice of Open module is then between PYU33P04 (Semiconductor Physics) and CHU33105 (Chemistry of Polymers and Macromolecules).

A Nanoscience student cannot choose to take a second Trinity Elective. The requirement by College for these students for 10 Elective credits is met between the JS Trinity Elective in Semester 2 and the SF module in the History Ethics and Philosophy of Science.

Module descriptions and learning outcomes will be made available through Blackboard.
