The focus of nanotechnology is on technologies that deal with structures and processes in the nanometre range. Material-specific properties are crucial for the functionality of nanomaterials and nanostructures in energy, environmental and health-related applications and in information and communication electronics. These need to be optimised in a targeted manner through size and shape, material composition and the manufacturing process.

Bachelor's graduates with a major in science or engineering qualify for the Master's degree in Nanotechnology in order to independently develop a wide range of issues relating to nanosystems.

Students learn

• the interdisciplinary combination of physical, chemical and materials engineering fundamentals with specialised knowledge of the production and application of nanomaterials,
• in-depth knowledge of materials science, particularly in nanoscopic systems,
• specialist knowledge of nanotechnological applications, e.g. sensors, nanoelectronics and nanotechnology.sensors, nanoelectronic components, catalysts or energy storage systems,
• the independent processing of scientific questions,
• the presentation of scientific findings in speech and writing

In numerous compulsory elective courses and through an extensive research internship as well as the Master's thesis, students acquire an individually tailored specialisation in the broad field of nanotechnology.

The Master of Science in Nanotechnology degree qualifies students for scientific work and for work as an engineer in research and development.
