Honours Materials and Nanosciences is available in both systems of study: regular and co-operative.
This is an interdisciplinary plan offered jointly by the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Continuing in Honours Materials and Nanosciences (regular and co-op) requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 60% and a minimum cumulative Science average of 60%.
Successful completion requires:

- 3.5 CHEM units: CHEM 121, CHEM 121L, CHEM 125, CHEM 125L, CHEM 140, CHEM 209, CHEM 250L, CHEM 254, CHEM 266L
- 0.5 CHEM unit: CHEM 264 or CHEM 266 (see Note)
- 0.5 unit: CHEM 350 or PHYS 359
- 4.25 PHYS units: PHYS 121, PHYS 121L, PHYS 122, PHYS 122L, PHYS 232L, PHYS 234, PHYS 242, PHYS 249, PHYS 334, PHYS 342
- 2.0 MATH units: MATH 127, MATH 128, MATH 227, MATH 228
- 0.5 CS unit: CS 114
- 4.5 elective units, distributed as follows:
- 1.0 program elective unit, 300-level or higher
- 1.0 program elective unit, 400-level
- 1.0 program elective unit, any level
- 1.5 units of any 0.25 or 0.5 unit courses
- 0.5 unit: COMMST 193/ENGL 193
- Enrolment in MNS 10 when offered.
- Co-operative program requirements (when applicable).
Note
Students wishing to take CHEM 264 instead of CHEM 266 must obtain permission from the instructor of CHEM 266L to override the prerequisite of CHEM 266.
