Nano-Science - Bachelor (mono)

This degree program is free of admission as long as you meet the admission requirements, i.e. no application is necessary. You can enroll directly for this degree program. You can start your studies in the winter as well as in the summer semester.

Information from the Student Affairs Department on applying to Bachelor´s degree programs

The prerequisite for studying at the University of Tübingen is the general university entrance qualification, usually the Abitur, or another university entrance qualification, e.g. the Delta Examination for prospective students with the "Fachhochschulreife" or "fachgebundener Hochschulreife" or a university entrance qualification for vocationally qualified applicants with foreign school-leaving qualifications, please contact the Department of Counseling and Admission for International Students.

Beyond that, there are no formal admission requirements. However, good knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and a keen interest in these subjects are required for successful study. A good knowledge of English is recommended for the study program.

A small "self-test", e.g. the so-called  online Self-Assessement, can help with orientation.

In Baden-Württemberg, there is an obligation to provide proof of participation in a study orientation procedure with enrollment (registration) in an undergraduate degree program.

The language of study and examination is German. Individual courses may be held in English. A good knowledge of English is expected for the study of literature. Therefore, knowledge of English is required. However, formal proof of English proficiency is not required. German language skills to the extent of DSH-2 (Testdaf4) are required for international students.

International applicants *without* a German-language university entrance qualification must provide evidence of German language proficiency in accordance with the university´s matriculation regulations (see also information on proof of linguistic study ability / DSH language test).

This is a so-called "Mono-Bachelor", i.e. the study is carried out in one scientific subject, namely "Nano-Science". It is possible to take additional, non-scientific modules to a limited extent within the framework of the compulsory elective area (usually in the third year of study).

The Bachelor's program "Nano-Science" is aimed at prospective students with a broad interest in various natural sciences. In the first four semesters, solid theoretical as well as practical basic knowledge is taught in the subjects of biology, chemistry and physics. Building on this knowledge, special courses and modules in nano-science are offered. This knowledge in its entirety will enable future graduates to enter the sector of nanotechnology and nanoscience in research, development and production. Further qualification to Master of Science (M. Sc.) is possible.

Further information can be found in the study program flyer.

Optional time abroad
You may choose to spend some time abroad as part of any study program. You should start planning it 12 to 18 months before your departure. 
Here you will find general information and advice on studying abroad. In addition, some departments have their own subject-specific services providing information on studying abroad.

In the winter semester 2023/24, approximately 180 students are enrolled for Nano-Science degree programs.

Advice and internships
The University’s Career Service assists with careers orientation and getting started in your profession. Jobs and internships can be found in the Praxisportal.

As a rule, the bachelor's degree program is followed by the corresponding master's degree program, in this case the MSc Nano-Science. Under certain conditions, graduates of the BSc Nano-Science can also be admitted to related master's programs. The corresponding admission requirements of the respective master's programs can be found on the websites of the subjects.

Admission to doctoral studies with a bachelor's degree is not possible. Admission to doctoral studies requires completion of a master's degree program.
