Master of Science [M.S] [Nanoscience] From University of Groningen

The Nanoscience programme is offered at the University of Groningen.

The properties of matter on the nanoscale often differ completely from macroscopic properties. Nature has made good use of nanoscale phenomena. How can scientists understand and exploit the new technological possibilities it offers?

Talented and Motivated Students

The Top Master Programme in Nanoscience is the best nanoscience programme in Europe and among the top 10 in the world. It aims to train the cutting edge scientists of the future. It offers a challenging programme for very talented and motivated students. It is strongly intertwined with research at the Zernike Institute: the courses are taught by top international scientists, and a large part of the programme consists of actually conducting high-level scientific research. Participants come from all over the world. A fellowship programme is available.

The Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, responsible for the Top Master Programme in Nanoscience, is a leading international research centre in this field. It belongs to the Times Higer Education Top 10 of best materials research institutes in the world. It unites around 300 leading researchers.

Job prospects

The programme is designed for people who want to pursue a career in scientific research. Such research takes place in universities, research institutions and large companies.
