Erasmus Mundus Master of Science in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (120 ECTS) Master of Science

Students select max 12 credits depending on their background.

The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Fundamentals will offer the students the necessary basis to disciplines in which they have had no training during their bachelor stages studies and which are essential for the rest of the master. The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Fundamentals can be necessary in physics, chemistry, biology and electronics. The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Fundamentals will be determined for each incoming student, based on his/her previous education. If the students need less than 12 credits, the remaining credits can be chosen from the profiling elective courses.
