Nanoscience and Technology

Program objectives include honing skills to convey independent problem solving by applying methods developed in the areas of physics, biophysics, and nanoscience, be it in the substructures and applied research of the economy and business, or as an independent business owner.

The program enables engineering physicists to work in many diverse areas, in particular within interdisciplinary teams. To ensure the high degree of education, participants not only have a solid basic education including an emphasis on mastering experimental, theoretical and numerical problems, but participants also - especially during the Bachelor's degree program – are capable of identifying and solving existing problems in research and/or industrial development. The Master's degree program has been designed as an extension of the material covered in Bachelor's degree program and is an advanced, in-depth study of Engineering Physics.
Masters Program in Nanoscience and TechnologyThe Master's degree program in “Nanoscience and Technology” focuses on the transmission of fundamental, physical and chemical properties of low-dimensional systems, applied experimental and engineering methods geared towards the production and analysis of nanomaterials and nano construction elements, as well as the development of suitable applications. Students are educated as interdisciplinary specialists possessing solid education in selected areas of natural and artificially produced nanostructures. Program graduates will have the necessary skills to implement new applications in engineering and research.
Potential Career OpportunitiesDue to the diversity and range of the demanding program curriculum, graduates can pursue engineering careers ranging from jobs at industrial companies to basic research, as R&D technicians at large industries as well as other areas in which the capacity and capability to address and solve problems are in demand. In the public sector, graduates can pursue careers in environmental protection, process engineering and testing, and at hospitals in fields such as medical engineering. Business consulting and software design companies, as well as banks, are also hiring an increasing number of physicists.
