Introduction
Nanotechnology
The follow-up master's study of Nanotechnology is intended for graduates of a bachelor's study of Nanotechnology or branches focused primarily on materials science, applied physics and chemistry. Theoretical subjects, dealing with the relationship between the structure and optical, magnetic and other properties of nanomaterials, are supplemented by work in laboratories used modern diagnostic devices. During their studies, students can spend an internship at foreign university, for example in the France, the Japan, China or the USA. After graduation, they can start work in one of the companies that produce of nanomaterials and nanocomposites. He can also continue in a doctoral study program of Nanotechnology or a similar branch and thus open himself the way to research organizations at home or abroad.
