Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary bachelor’s degree program. Broad foundations in physics, mathematics and chemistry are essential, even if the study itself is application and material oriented.
Program overview
What is the degree program about?
The nanotechnology degree program offers students an interdisciplinary education in the fundamentals of this new science and focuses on its technological applications. Examples of this are manufacturing processes of nanomaterials, nanocomposites, nanoparticles or nanolayers and the determination of magnetic, electrical and optical properties – in theory and practice. In addition to learning analytical methods, for characterization and modeling of nanostructures, new manufacturing technologies (biomimetics, self-organization) are also part of the education. The strong engineering component makes this course of study unique in Germany.
The Bachelor’s degree program (B.Sc) has a standard period of study of 6 semesters (with 30 ECTS points each).
The structure of the program is modular – with fundamentals in nanotechnology, mathematics, physics, chemistry and materials science as well as internships in the first four semesters.
In the module broadening horizons, students have the choice between a 10-week industrial internship or a semester abroad in the Erasmus program.
- Good mathematical, scientific and technical understanding,
- Pleasure in practical work,
- Ability to work in a team and enjoy communicating
- Ability to be self-motivated and organized.
With their broad fundamental knowledge, nanotechnology engineers bring important competencies for the development and application of new materials and systems. Since nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field, the demand for experts in this area can be expected to continue to increase. Nanotechnology engineers are in demand as employees in the fields of:
- Energy Technology,
- automotive industry,
- environmental technology,
- microelectronics,
- medical technology.
