Our two-year MSc programme focuses on the design, creation and study of functional materials, structures, devices and systems by directly controlling matter on the nanometre scale and is for anyone interested in the exciting and upcoming field of nanoscience and nanoengineering.
WHAT MAKES NANOTECHNOLOGY UNIQUE?
The MSc programme Nanotechnology is a unique programme. No other university in the Netherlands offers you the chance to study for a Master’s degree in Nanotechnology. Moreover, you will conduct experiments in the world-renowned Nanolab, and you get the opportunity to do your Master’s assignment within our MESA+ Institute.
Like the research generally carried out in this field, our Master’s programme in Nanotechnology is multidisciplinary. On the one hand, it will offer you the chance to explore different research areas within the wider field of nanotechnology. On the other, you will be able to specialize in a specific research field of your choice, such as bionanotechnology and nanochemistry, nanophysics or nanosystems and -devices.
The programme has a strong focus on the fabrication (bottom-up and top-down) and characterization of nanomaterials and on the design of nanodevices. During the programme you will be able to specialize in one of the following three profiles:
- Solid State Matter
- (Bio)molecular Matter
- Soft Matter combined with Components and Systems
You will also be able to choose from a wide range of specialized, elective courses in the fields of physics, chemistry, electrical and biomedical engineering. You will carry out your own design project at one of our renowned research groups. The programme has a strong research component. This combination will give you the perfect preparation for a career as a researcher.
WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH FACILITIES
This unique MSc Nanotechnology programme offers you access to world-class labs and state-of-the-art facilities, such as our own cleanroom and nanocharacterization lab. The programme’s connections with MESA+, one of the world’s leading institutes in nanotechnology, means you can be sure of an exciting research environment and the best academic training in the world.
