Nanoscience

The Nanoscience consecutive study programme expands the knowledge and skills obtained in a corresponding Bachelor's degree programme towards deeper theoretical understanding and practical applications of nanoscale phenomena. Embedded in state-of-the-art research, students apply interdisciplinary approaches based on physics, chemistry, and biology to special research areas of nanoscience such as materials chemistry, nanoelectronics, and photonics or advanced molecular biology. By planning and conducting experiments and presenting the results in written and oral form, students develop their skills in scientific practice. They obtain competencies highly beneficial for employment in an interdisciplinary environment in industry or public service. These competencies include not only subject-specific knowledge but also soft skills such as scientific communication and time management. In addition to lectures in all natural sciences with special emphasis on the nanoscale and laboratory work involving at least one natural science, individual specialisation is possible in a large number of elective courses. Some of the courses may also be taken abroad in a partner university or institution. The two-year programme concludes with a Master's thesis on a special research topic in nanoscience. Upon successful completion of the programme, the Master of Science academic title will be awarded. To gain further insights into studying at the University of Kassel, you can find a video here .
