The Master of Nanoscience examines phenomena on the atomic and molecular scales, where the structure of matter determines important electrical, optical and mechanical properties. A multidisciplinary scientific education integrating physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, material sciences and bioscience engineering empowers students to create new nanocomponents, systems and products.

The master in Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology is an interuniversity Master participated by 7 Spanish Universities. It addresses aspects that are at the intersection of one of the most novel sciences today, the Nanoscience, with traditional scientific aspects of the Molecular Science such as Molecular Electronics, Molecular Magnetism, Supramolecular Chemistry, Surface Physics, or Science of Molecular Materials. The Master is aimed at training students in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology so that they can develop a professional activity in this field, or a research activity leading to a Doctoral Thesis.

The primary purpose of the MSc in Nanoscience minor-dissertation with coursework is to provide students with specialized advanced education and training while meeting the requirements of a specific research component so that students can master the required experimental and technological skills and necessary fieldwork competencies such as innovation, decision-making, strategic thinking, and organizational skills.

As a student of the Master's Degree Programme, you will get multidisciplinary know-how in the fields of physics, chemistry and cell & molecular biology. If you are broadly interested in natural sciences and willing to understand nature and its phenomena from many perspectives, this programme is ideal for you.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are disciplines at the cutting-edge of scientific knowledge. They combine aspects of basic and applied sciences applied to specific fields, such as biotechnology, medicine, chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, physics, materials engineering, sciences and electronic engineering. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are therefore key areas of interdisciplinary research and development, in which activity is increasing across the globe.

In the MSc in Nanoscience, you will work together with world-class scientists: top researchers from the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials provide education in the courses. Top researchers also provide supervision in four individual projects, in different research groups. Also, our program is the home of the 2016 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, Ben Feringa, and the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Frits Zernike; Spinoza Prize Winner Bart van Wees teaches in several of the given core courses. The MSc in Nanoscience is built upon the research cycle: ranging from design to synthesis, and device building, characterization, and research, to the theoretical foundation and improved design. It is a selective Master's degree: that assures you are studying as a cohort in a small but very motivated and talented group of (international) students. Our program is a 2-year full of partial scholarships for all admitted students. Also, we are among the top-3 of all Master's degree programs in the Netherlands 5 years in a row (Dutch Higher Education Guide 2019).

This MSc course is addressed to students holding the first cycle in Chemistry or related areas, and features a sound chemistry education at the second cycle level, with continuity, scientific and pedagogic consistency and with a curriculum structure flexible to be adapted to the evolution of the market needs. The objectives of this Master are:

An inspiring international research environment with 3 active Nobel Prize laureates in chemistry, prepares you to use chemical complexity as a tool to lead innovation in academia and industry. The graduate school in Complex Systems Chemistry offers an integrated Master and PhD program in a cosmopolitan environment in the heart of Europe, with over 15 different nationalities sharing a common goal: mastering complexity to innovate. This Master program offers 8 months of courses - covering frontier aspects of modern chemistry - and 14 months of research-based internships in three laboratories. This structure allows you to reinforce your core chemistry background, expand it, and tailor the program to your interests in domains central to our society: functional materials, energy, green chemistry, sustainable development, and health. Your formation is complemented by transferable skills courses, covering topics that range from career development to entrepreneurship. During this two-year Master in chemistry in France, you will be supported by a scholarship; after completing the Master, successful students have direct access to PhD programs and funding in Strasbourg (France), a chemistry hot spot. Complexity made simple!

The word Nanoscience refers to the study, manipulation and engineering of matter, particles and structures on the nanometer scale. Important properties of materials, such as the electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties, are determined by the way molecules and atoms assemble on the nanoscale into larger structures. Nanotechnology is the application of nanoscience leading to the use of new nanomaterials and nanosize components in useful products.

The Interuniversity Master's Degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology responds to the need to integrate into a body of knowledge the advances that are taking place in the field of nanoscience and the technological applications of nanosystems.

Admission to the nano-SE MS program requires a bachelor's in an engineering or science discipline based on physical science. The Introduction to Nanoscience course is offered for students from a range of backgrounds as an introduction to nanotechnology. Check with your department to determine whether credit for this course may be applied towards your degree. Full course description is available in the South Dakota Mines Catalog.

The Master of Physics, with a strong focus on Nanophysics, is unique for its focus on the fundamental physics of the exciting phenomena in nanosystems. The programme focuses on modern theoretical models and computational techniques, electron microscopy and spectroscopy for the characterisation of nanostructures and practical computational and experimental experience.

The MS Green and Sustainable Chemistry program curriculum is designed to address the growing demand for highly qualified professionals in the broad area of green and sustainable chemistry and technologies and to support and complement current research foci in green and sustainable chemistry. The program offers opportunities for advanced studies and research in renewable energy, sustainable chemistry, environmental science, human health, biotechnology, and biomaterials.

The Interuniversity Master's Degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology integrates into a body of knowledge the advances that are taking place in the field of nanoscience and the technological applications of nanosystems in very diverse fields. It offers theoretical-practical training on the rational design of nanoscale materials, including bionanotechnology and computational design fundamentals, procedures for obtaining nanostructures, characterization techniques, technological and biomedical applications, and toxicological and legal aspects. It is a multidisciplinary master's degree of a transversal nature for the areas of knowledge of Health Sciences, Sciences and Engineering, and Architecture.

Nanomaterials are an increasingly important product of nanotechnologies. They are coming into use in the fields of healthcare, electronics, cosmetics, and other areas. Materials with a structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, or mechanical properties. Moreover, the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials often differ from those of bulk materials, so our graduates will gain in-depth knowledge of nanomaterials.
