Chemistry - Bio and Nano Materials Uppsala University

Overview

The Chemistry - Bio and Nano Materials specialisation from Uppsala University has strong links to world leading research in this field. It is a unique specialisation at Uppsala University and you will have leading experts in, e.g. tissue engineering and biomaterials as teachers, and have the opportunity to do your degree project in a dynamic and world-class research environment, either at the university or in a private company.

The course content also include the chemical and physical properties of soft materials, applied to, e.g., medical applications. This is a major growth area and you will learn more about  tissue engineering, soft functional materials, both on the nanoscale as well bulk properties, biosensors, and materials for drug transport and delivery, etc.

Career 

Soft- and biomaterials, and nanomaterials in general, are found in most sectors. Having a master in Bio- and Nanomaterials, you will have a relevant background to hold key positions in addressing future challenges such as tissue engineering and implants, smart responsive materials, drug delivery vehicles, novel polymeric materials, and many other cutting-edge areas and technologies.

Possible career paths can vary. You may work with research and development, production processes, analysis of materials, management of safety and legal issues, patenting of inventions, marketing and sales, or environmental and sustainability issues.
