25 Nanoscience MSc Degree Programs

You strive to qualify yourself for your career in a highly future-oriented field, and you seek scientific work with innovative technology – in this case, the Master's study program Micro- and Nanotechnology is a perfect choice.

Explore the future of science and technology with our Nanotechnology and Nanoscience programme. Learn to design and develop innovative materials and devices at the nanoscale. Join the global nanotechnology revolution.

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.

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).

Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary field of science that deals with understanding and utilizing materials and phenomena at the nanoscale – that is, between 0.1 and 100 nanometres. The ability to work on this scale makes it possible to achieve highly improved or completely new functions and properties in a wide range of materials.

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.

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.

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.

Are you interested in an international career in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, both at the fundamental level and in the design and creation of components at the nanoscale? Then the MSc in Nanotechnology: Fabrication Technology for Nanosystemsy for Nanosystems in Nanotechnology might be just what you are looking for. By immersing yourself in existing and experimental techniques for modelling and fabricating micro and nano devices, you will graduate with a wealth of skills and know-how in a dynamic and cutting-edge field.

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 combined talents and expertise of chemists, physicists, and material scientists are essential to successfully address the scientific and technological challenges of today’s society. Nanomaterials have unique properties that can be tailored by controlling the size, shape and surface of nanoparticles and nanoporous materials. The two-year Master’s programme Nanomaterials Science offers you a scientifically diverse learning environment where you will acquire both the knowledge and the skills to successfully tackle complex multidisciplinary problems and contribute to the technologies of the future.

On the nanometre scale, the distinction between disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology becomes less clear. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are therefore characterised by a high degree of interdisciplinarity. The Nanoscience programme at Lund University has its base in a physics description of nanoscale phenomena, but, depending on your background, you can also choose to specialise in fields such as nanoelectronics, materials science or biophysics. The programme is part of NanoLund, one of the world’s leading nanoscience centres. You will interact with cutting-edge research throughout the programme, starting in the first semester and building up to the Master’s project.
