Masters in Nanotechnology (in Europe)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on pursuing a Master's degree in Nanotechnology in continental Europe, specifically focusing on programs that integrate theoretical physics and electrical engineering. Key institutions mentioned include the University of Leuven, which is affiliated with IMEC, a leading research group in nanotechnology, and the Technical University of Delft, which offers a Master's in Nanoscience. Additionally, Copenhagen University is highlighted for its recent funding for a nanotechnology science center. The preference is for programs taught in English, with a specific exclusion of British institutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nanotechnology principles
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics
  • Knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals
  • Research skills for evaluating academic programs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Master's program in Nanoscience at Technical University of Delft
  • Explore the nanotechnology offerings at the University of Leuven and IMEC
  • Investigate the nanotechnology science center at Copenhagen University
  • Consider the ME Program in Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students in engineering and physics, particularly those interested in nanotechnology and interdisciplinary studies combining theoretical and practical applications.

hi guys,

I just finished my undergrades in electrical engineering and I am planning to continue to the masters level. Though it wasn't a field of study, i got hooked to physics and i am planning to do my masters in nanotechnology where theoratical physics (specifically quantom mechanics) merges with practical EE.

I would appreciate it if one of you could suggest a list of good schools in Europe that would offer this type of program in English or French ( although my french isn't that great), but I would prefer it to be in the language of science (i.e. English).

By the way, when i talk of europe I only mean continental europe (i.e. Britian is excluded).

you need to be in Belgium...
Check out this site from the university of Leuven, one of the oldest in Europe...

Why would you want to miss out on Oxbridge? Especially Cambridge which I think has a nanotechnology department...
 
Copenhagen university just got a big grant from the govenrment for their nanotechnology science scenter http://www.nano.ku.dk/education/start.htm must admit i don't know much about them except they are around the same buildings as me lol, but it may be of interest to you to check it out. Not sure if they teach in english or not o_O

If you change your mind about Europe...

take a look at the ME Program in Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, NY)
