What you will study

The focus system allows students to deepen the skills acquired in the Bachelor's degree in one of the three disciplines involved, as well as to gain a new perspective on the interfaces between the two related disciplines in the compulsory elective area. The Master's degree course thus offers a tailor-made, research-oriented specialization in the field of nanosciences.

Career pathways

Nanosciences and nanotechnology are drivers of innovation in very different fields in which interdisciplinary expertise plays an important role. In addition to activities in research, development and quality control, a number of other fields are opening up in the areas of technology consulting.
