About this programme
Within the Erasmus Mundus framework, five leading educational institutions in Europe offer a joint Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The objective is to prepare you with the multidisciplinary knowledge and skills to design custom-made materials and products with new enhanced properties- such as new nanoelectronic components, new types of ‘smart’ medicines and sensors, and interfaces between electronics and biological systems.
The programme is truly integrated into the international research community, with a strong analytical backbone and an important international network of research centres such as imec in Belgium, CEA-LETI in France and Leibniz Institute for Solid State Materials Research in Germany. This strong link between education and research ensures a contemporary program at the cutting edge of state-of-the-art research.
Program Strengths
- A limited number of scholarships for both European and non-European students are funded by the European Commission. There are scholarships funded by the EU Commission for non-EEA students. The number of grants and the amount of the grant are decided on an annual basis. Besides the scholarships, a limited number of tuition fee waivers are also available.
- The program offers a broad overview covering all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology, with on the one hand a strong horizontal multidisciplinary core education, in the various underlying disciplines, and on the other hand a more vertical specialization in one specific subfield of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
- The Erasmus Mundus master program is organized by a consortium of university partners selected for their educational and research strengths in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. This ensures a high-quality and competitive master's program is recognized as one of the best nano educational programs currently available in the world.
