Nanoscience University of Copenhagen

Overview

During the Nanoscience programme at the University of Copenhagen, you can focus on the aspects of nanoscience that interest you. In nanoscience you explore the fascinating world of nanoscale systems in physics, chemistry and biology applying theoretical and experimental techniques. You may contribute to groundbreaking fundamental science or shape the technologies of tomorrow, and address key societal challenges in quantum technology, green energy or design of novel materials and biomedicine. 

Career Opportunities

Upon completion of the master’s programme, you will obtain the title Master of Science in Nanoscience.

You may use X-rays to investigate how enzymes catalyze in chemical reactions. You can study how quantum transport works in molecules or quantum devices, or you can focus on nanosensors in the development of new medicine.

Employment

The majority of graduates with an MSc in Nanoscience work in the private sector, often in high-tech companies within pharmaceuticals, IT, biotech, or green energy.

Some work as consultants or with patents. Around 40% of our graduates pursue a PhD and later work with research and development in the industry or at a university.

The programme organises match-making events between students and companies. These can lead to thesis projects or employment with a company upon graduation.
