Study programme Nanomaterials Science

The Nanomaterials Science master is a two-years programme of the Department of Chemistry. The study combines course work with research in one of the groups of the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science (DINS), hereafter abbreviated as Debye Institute and the Institute for Sustainable and Circular Chemistry (ISCC).

There are options for both fundamental and applied approaches. You can, for example, specialize in self-assembled quantum-dots, colloid science, organic chemistry and catalysis. Alternatively, your choice can be application-driven; you can learn to synthesize, engineer and analyse advanced (nano)materials for applications, e.g. in catalysis, photonics and colloidal dispersions.

In brief, the composition of the Master's programme is visualised in following figure
