Master of Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering (Leuven) | Master's degree | Engineering & Technology | On Campus | 2 years | Ku Leuven | Belgium
Within a few years, nanoscience applications are expected to impact virtually every technological sector and ultimately most aspects of our daily lives. KU Leuven's Master of Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering rides the global trend for nanoscience, combining knowledge of physics, biology, and chemistry at the nanoscale with expertise in technology and engineering. Nanotechnology and nanoengineering are the application of this science to new nanomaterials and nano concepts, producing components, systems and products.
What is the Master of Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering all about?
Nanotechnology and Nanoengineering, newborn scientific disciplines are situated at the interface of physics, chemistry, materials science, microelectronics, biochemistry and biotechnology. Consequently, control of the discipline requires an academic and multidisciplinary scientific education. You will learn the basics of physics, biology and chemistry on the nanometer scale and the use of nanotechnologies for systems and sensors on the macro-scale.
The programme is both strongly application and research oriented, and is closely linked to the research centres of global leaders such as IMEC, the Leuven Nanocenter and INPAC (Institute for Nanoscale Physics and Chemistry) at the Faculty of Science.
