Bachelor's Program

In the bachelor's program, students receive a broad basic education in physics, chemistry and biology. In addition, they gain insight into the work of leading nanoscientists, start their own small research projects and learn about the first industrial applications in industry.
Numerous internships in various research groups help them to find out about their own interests and to build up a network.

Master's Program

In the master's program, students choose one major and one minor subject between physics, chemistry, molecular biology and medical nanoscience. They write two project papers and a master's thesis in these subjects. International contacts of the participating researchers as well as financial support from the SNI enable students to spend time abroad.
