Nanoscience

Overview

The University of Kassel's Nanoscience master’s degree, which follows on from the nanostructure science bachelor’s degree, focuses on further developing the interdisciplinary approach to physics, chemistry and biology, specialisation and applied issues, e.g. in the field of nanoelectronics, supramolecular chemistry or molecular biology. 

In the inconceivably minuscule world of nanostructures – after all, one nanometre only measures about one millionth of a millimetre – you will be expected to be able to independently plan laboratory work and conduct experiments as well as present the results verbally and in writing; these are all skills needed to prepare you for your career.

Career

Despite the minute dimensions in the world of nanostructures, the career prospects are outstanding in one of the largest growth markets in the world. 

There are only a small number of specialists with interdisciplinary training to meet the high level of demand for qualified employees in what is still a young, but expanding line of work. The fields of activity are very varied: ranging from pure research to applied tasks like the development of materials, information and communications technology, coating techniques, cosmetics, pharmacy and biomedicine.
