Nano-Science - Master

The Master's degree programme is not admission-restricted. No selection procedure takes place. However, an application has to be submitted in order to verify the admission-requirements.

The application is to be submitted online.

Information on admission to studies (requirements, restrictions, necessary documents, application deadlines, etc.) is available via the Student Administration, the International Office  or the study coordinator of Nano-Science.

Deadline for applications from abroad (Non-EU) is July 15 for the winter term and January 15 for the summer term. For applicants from EU countries, the deadline is September 30 for the winter term and March 31 for the term.

Admission prerequisites

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Nano-Science or related subjects with reference to Nano-Science, or in Physics or Chemistry or Biology. In the latter three subjects basic knowledge and basic experience in the nanoscientific core disciplines (quantum mechanics, physics of soft matter, physical chemistry, biophysics, special microscopy, nanotechnology, nanostructural sciences) of at least 18 ECTS credits must be documented.

A Bachelor grade of 3.0 (according to german grading scale) or better (see Examination and Study Regulations).

Foreign language requirements

German and English are the languages of instruction and examination in this degree program. Students are required to have adequate knowledge of the English language (at least B2 GER) in speech and writing. Many courses are conducted in English. The literature for advanced studies exists nearly exclusively in English.

Combination options

The Nano-Science program is a mono master program and cannot be complemented with a minor subject.

Course content

The program "Nano-Science" aims to reach prospective students with a broad interest in different natural sciences. Within the four study semesters, the program provides solid theoretical as well as practical basic knowledge in the subjects of biology, chemistry, and physics. Building on this knowledge, special nanoscientific courses and modules are offered. This knowledge as a whole enables the future graduates to enter the sector of nanotechnology and nanoscience in research, development, and production.
