Introductory Courses
(15 credits)
|
The Introductory Courses will offer the students the necessary basis to disciplines in which they have had no training during their bachelor years and which are essential for the core courses of the master. The introductory can be necessary in physics, chemistry, biology and electronics. The introductory courses will be determined for each incoming student, based on his previous education. If the students need less than 15 credits, credits can be chosen from the elective courses. |
Non-Technical Courses
(9-12 credits) |
The Non-Technical Courses are necessary to impart non-technical qualities to the nanoscientists. Modules such as ethics, scientific writing skills, entrepreneurship, Intellectual Property are offered. A series of seminars of societal aspects of nanotechnology and bionanotechnology will be offered within the lectures of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Students need to be aware of the challenges, risks and promises of nanotechnical developments and to contribute to finding answers to open questions. |
Core Courses
(33 credits)
Lectures on Nanoscience and nanotechnology
(3 credits) |
The Core Course contain the basic knowledge within the three main disciplines: nanotechnology, nanoscience and biochemistry/physics. Every student will follow these courses irrespective of her/his specialization. Lectures on Nanoscience and nanotechnology are lectures about the subjects of the core courses. |
Specific Courses
(15 credits) |
Specific Courses introduce specialization into one of the following 5 themes:
|
Elective Courses
(15 studiepunten)
|
Elective courses allow to broaden the student's horizon beyond the chosen specialization, or, alternatively, to further deepen his/her specialization. Students can choose all specific courses and courses of 2 extra clusters:Electronics 2,
Materials and Biological Systems.
They can also choose for the Practical Training and 9 credits of the other clusters. |
Master Thesis Project
(30 studiepunten)
|
The Master Thesis Project is intended to bring the student in close contact with a multinational and multidisciplinary research environment. The student will be assigned a relevant research project and work in close collaboration with PhD students, postdocs and professors. The research project is finalized with a public presentation of a Master's Thesis. |
