Profile
This two year, 120 ECTS Master’s Course provides a top quality and multidisciplinary education in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, coupled with an individual specialization in one of nine defined areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology: nanomaterials, nanochemistry, organic and molecular electronics, nanoelectronics, quantum engineering, quantum computing, biophysics, nanobiotechnology and nanopharmacology. The course is organized by the KU Leuven (Belgium), Chalmers Tekniska Högskola, Göteborg (Sweden), Technische Universität Dresden (Germany), Université Grenoble Alpes (France) and Universitat de Barcelona (Spain). The course aims to instill in its students the power to work, communicate and think across the boundaries of traditional scientific disciplines. The course is organized with the support of three associated partners: imec in Leuven (Belgium), CEA-LETI in Grenoble (France) and Leibniz Institute for Solid State Materials Research in Dresden (Germany). These institutes are providing access to world-class infrastructure for Nanotechnology research and development and opportunities for graduating students to continue their study with a PhD. We offer a highly integrated program, based on a jointly developed curriculum and composed of course modules that are fully recognized by all consortium partners. All students start the first year at the KU Leuven, where they follow a set of fundamental courses to give them a common starting basis, a compulsory common block of core courses to give them the necessary multidisciplinary background of Nanoscience and nanotechnology, a selection of courses to provide some non-technical and language and cultural skills, and already a block of profiling elective courses, which preparesthem for their second year specialization. In the second year university the students select their specialization area and follow on one hand a compulsory set of specializing courses (15 ects), combined with a set of elective broadening courses (15 ects), and do their master thesis research project (30 ects). The Master’s course has a strong link with many research groups in the partner universities as well as in the associated partner institutions. The language of instruction is English. The Course leads to a joint degree from the two universities at which the student has studied. Application requirements include the completion of a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering or Materials Science with a proven background in mathematics and physics or chemistry. English language proficiency is also a requirement.Graduate students from the EMNano+ program will be well prepared for both continued research in nanoscience for a PhD degree, and a non- academic career in the rapidly emerging nanotechnology industry. The EMNano+ graduates will also be part of the important and challenging task in in the coming decades of bringing today’s nanoscience into tomorrow’s nanotechnology.
