Nanoscience (Master)

The content on this page was translated automatically.

This is a perfect program for students who have a keen eye for detail and a strong interest in examining things at a microscopic level. The nanoscience master’s degree, which builds upon the nanostructure science bachelor’s degree, focuses on further developing an interdisciplinary approach to physics, chemistry, and biology. Specialization and practical applications in fields such as nanoelectronics, supramolecular chemistry, and molecular biology are emphasized.

In the unimaginably tiny world of nanostructures, where a nanometer measures only about one millionth of a millimeter, you will be expected to independently plan laboratory work, conduct experiments, and effectively present your findings both orally and in writing. These skills are essential for your future career.

The Hessen International University offers a four-semester course, primarily taught in English, starting either in the summer or winter semester. To be eligible, you must hold a bachelor’s degree in nanostructure science or a related field. The program offers a wide range of optional specialization courses, allowing students to gain highly specialized knowledge and develop their own career profiles during the master’s degree course. Additionally, students have opportunities to enhance their “soft skills,” such as academic communication and time management. Completion of a master’s degree dissertation, focusing on a specific research aspect of nanoscience, is required to obtain the Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree.

Despite the minuscule dimensions in the world of nanostructures, the career prospects in this field are exceptional, as it is one of the largest growing markets worldwide. There is currently a scarcity of professionals with interdisciplinary training to meet the high demand for qualified employees in this relatively young, yet expanding field. The range of career opportunities is diverse, spanning from pure research to applied tasks in areas such as materials development, information and communications technology, coating techniques, cosmetics, pharmacy, and biomedicine.
