Nanostructural Sciences (Bachelor)
The content on this page was translated automatically.
If you’re captivated by the captivating notion that the most remarkable and breathtaking scientific revelations are potentially nestled within the inconceivably minute realm of nanostructures, then immersing yourself in the study of nanostructure science at Hessen International University could be your pathway.
Nanostructures emerge on a scale where one nanometer corresponds to a mere millionth of a millimeter. These structures form when multiple molecules or atoms unite, giving birth to a realm that’s the focal point of this degree program. What sets this program apart at Hessen International University is its holistic interdisciplinary approach, seamlessly weaving together the realms of biology, chemistry, and physics from the natural sciences.
Spanning six semesters, the course commences in the winter semester and culminates in the attainment of a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree. To fully equip yourself, it’s recommended to participate in preliminary courses in both mathematics and chemistry. Early semesters encompass a comprehensive foundational understanding of all three scientific domains. Students are also exposed to the application domains, career avenues, and avenues of exploration within the realms of nanostructure science and nanotechnology. The third and fourth semesters mark the juncture where students can tailor their focus by choosing two out of the three natural sciences: Nanochemistry, Nanophysics, or Nanobiology. Instruction is conducted in German.
Aspiring students should harbor a foundational curiosity for chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics, coupled with tenacity and inquisitiveness. This pursuit proves rewarding, as nanostructure science defies being relegated to a niche. Esteemed specialists hold this burgeoning, internationally expansive field of inquiry as a pivotal discipline for the 21st century. Consequently, prospects for career advancement abound not only in fundamental research but also in forward-looking, application-driven domains like information technology, communication technology, materials innovation, and biomedicine.
Nanoscience (Master)

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.
