3 Nanoscience Degree Programs in Belgium

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 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 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.
