About this course

The Master’s degree program in Nanosciences and Technology aims to provide students with the skill sets and abilities necessary to independently solve problems. Be it in base-knowledge or applied research, students apply developed methods in nanosciences to business solutions, as an entrepreneur, or as an independent business owner. Graduates of the program are able to comprehensibly explain scientific findings and apply multidisciplinary research approaches that serve to benefit and better society. Graduates are also in the position to follow content-based, methodological developments in the field and provide expert advice about their use. The Master’s thesis gives you an opportunity to learn more about, address and solve current problems impacting today’s research and industrial development. Students can also develop experimental and/or theoretical work programs.

BA Physics or an undergraduate degree program equivalent in content and scope.

Your Benefits:
The ability to independently solve problems using nanoscience-developed methods
Take part in cutting-edge research projects as part of your Master’s thesis
Outstanding faculty-student ratio (classes and thesis supervision)
