Master of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (no new enrolments in 2012-2013) (120 ECTS) Master of Science

Transition: Students who have obtained less than 48 credits, and therefore can't start with the Master's Thesis, must apply in the new programme. Students who have obtained 48 credits or more, stay in this programme.
Transition: Courses of the first stage can be selected in the "ISP" via the search function #free selection from the academic offering".
Transition: If the student must still take the course H03O5A, the student must take H03O5B.
Transition: If the student must still take the course H06L6A, the student must take H06L6B.

All subgroups are compulsory.

• Introductory Courses

  Students take a maximum of 15 credits.
  
  The Introductory Courses will offer the students the necessary basis to disciplines in which they have had no training during their bachelor stages and which are essential for the core courses of the master. The introductory can be necessary in physics, chemistry, biology and electronics. The introductory courses will be determined for each incoming student, based on his previous education. If the students need less than 15 credits, credits can be chosen from the elective courses.
  

• Core Courses

  All courses are obligatory.
  
  H06N2A "Lectures on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology" is spread over two academic years. Students have to follow this course in the first programme stage, and also in the second programma stage.
  Important: Students have to select H06N2A via their ISP (My Studyprogramme) in the second programme stage.
