About the programme
The Master's in Nanoscience at the University of Konstanz is taught in English and runs for four semesters with 120 ECTS. You learn how to manipulate nanostructures and material structures, and how to develop new functions and applications through their interaction with the macroscopic world. The programme builds particular competence in material sciences on solid foundations in chemistry, with modern, interdisciplinary teaching from the Departments of Chemistry and Physics and many research-related courses. You complete two months of work experience during the programme, and a period abroad is strongly recommended. You can start in the winter or the summer semester. Graduates work in areas such as measurement and sensor technology, optical or medical devices, microchip production, the ceramic and chemical industry and materials testing. Above-average students can take a fast track straight into doctoral studies. It suits graduates in chemistry or a closely related field.
