Nanotechnology

The programme focuses on designing, manufacturing and controlling materials, components and machinery with dimensions on the nanoscale, i.e. from 0.1 to 100 nm. You will be able to specialise in either Nanobiotechnology or Nanophysics and Nanomaterials. You will learn how to develop materials for use in communications, data storage, biosensors, medicine, etc.

Examples of courses are:

Nanobiotechnology:

• Advanced Gene Technology
• Engineering of Reactions
• Molecular Simulation
• Advanced Data Analysis
• NMR Spectroscopy
• High Throughput Screening
• Mass Spectroscopy
• Self-organizing Biostructures

Nanophysics and Nanomaterials:

• Optoelectronics
• Semiconductor Physics
• Nano-composites
• Polymer Chemistry
• Nano-optics
• Surface Science
• Multiscale Modelling and Simulation
• Nano-electronics

You will also be able to combine courses from the two specialisations.

Teaching varies between courses and project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions. In the final 1-2 semesters you will be writing your MSc thesis

Graduation from the master degree programme confers the title Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering (Nanotechnology).

To be admitted to an MSc programme, you must have a bachelor degree in a relevant subject.

In addition, documentation may be required verifying your proficiency in English is at a specified level.

Contact the educational institution you wish to apply to for detailed information on entry requirements and required English proficiency levels.

To find out whether the level of your foreign certificate satifies the general entry requirements, see the Danish Agency for International Education.

The application deadline for MSc programmes varies according to the educational institution. Contact the individual institution for further information regarding its application deadline and forms.

Exchange students should contact their home institution for information on application procedures and deadlines.

Tuition

There is a tuition fee for all full-degree students, unless you are a student from an EU/EEA country, or from Switzerland.

Students within an exchange programme are not required to pay tuition.

Contact the individual institution for more specific information.

Semester Start

An academic year is made up of two semesters, which begin around September 1 and February 1.

You can study Nanotechnology in Aalborg.

Aalborg University

At the University of Aalborg, Nanotechnology can be studied as a 2-year master degree programme (120 ECTS).

You can also take single courses or subjects within the programme.
