Master of Science [M.S] [Nanomaterials Science] From Utrecht University

Nanomaterials are essential building blocks that can produce chemicals in an environmentally friendly manner, harvest light to supply energy, and help develop faster computers and better medicines.?

Chemistry of the future

The dimensions of systems at the microscopic level determine their physical and chemical properties and applications. Your studies will provide you with the tools to analyse and experiment with these properties and possibilities. In addition, the course content will introduce you to the nanomaterials of tomorrow, including colloidal crystals ? a new tool for the manipulation of light in miniature lasers and optical devices ? and new catalysts for more efficient and environmentally friendly chemistry.

Contribute to a sustainable society

The ?programme delivered by??offers you the knowledge and training to work as a scientist who contributes to a more sustainable society. Through your?courses and research work, you will participate in the exciting field of nanomaterial development and develop fundamental knowledge of various applications and industrial interests.?

Our staff members excel in research and in teaching, and they maintain close ties with partners in industry and academia. As part of your programme, you may opt to participate in an industry-based internship.

Careers

This MSc degree will qualify you to do further post-graduate research leading to a PhD degree in chemistry, physics, or materials science. It will also be an excellent qualification for acquiring a research or development position in industries that are investing in innovation or in new companies at the interface of biotechnology, nanoelectronics, chemistry, and nanomaterials.

The programme also provides a good?background for working toward a career in management or consultancy, particularly in companies with a technology base.
