Key Summary
Introduction
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 using modern diagnostic devices. During their studies, students can spend an internship at a foreign university, for example in France, Japan, China or the USA. After graduation, they can start work in a company that produces nanomaterials and nanocomposites. He can also continue in a doctoral study program in nanotechnology or a similar branch and thus open himself up to research organizations at home or abroad.
