Course Description
This two year Master’s Course, organised by the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium),Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands),Leiden University (the Netherlands), and Dresden University of Technology (Germany), offers high level specialised training in the field of nanoscale research. The programme is organised around four major themes: nanotechnology, nanoscience, biophysics, and nanobiotechnology. The Course aims to instil in its students the power to communicate and think across the boundaries of traditional scientific disciplines. Students receive a basic training in a range of disciplines, and choose to specialise within one of these disciplines, conducting international research in a prestegious research and development environment.
The language of instruction is English. The student population is around fifty students. Since the Master’s course has a strong link with many research groups, the professor/student ratio is very high (more than one professor to every five students).
The Course leads to a double degree from the two universities at which the student has studied. With this degree, students will be prepared for high-level science and engineering positions within the booming economy of nanosciences. Applications requirements include the completion of a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering, or Materials Science with a demonstrated knowledge of Physics. English language proficiency is also a requirement.

Service included for non-EU/EFTA students
For students from outside the European Union (non-EU/EFTA) the fee covers costs incurrent in via applications, introductory Summer School programme fees and mediation in the provision of furnished student accomodation on arrival. The cost of travel between the universities is not included in the fees and is therefore at students'own expanse. Please note that there is no application fee.
Scholarships for non-EU/EFTA students
Partial scholarships (tuition-fee waivers) are available on a merit and demonstrated financial need basis. Other organizations, such as Nuffic also offer scholarships to students accepted for the MSc NanoScience programme.
