Objectives and competencies

Objectives

This Interuniversity Master has two fundamental objectives:

  • To establish a national standard of excellence for the Master's level that will enable students to train for research in Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology, or to acquire knowledge and skills useful to develop a professional activity in high-tech companies.
  • To promote mobility and interaction between the Master's students in the field of Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology and contact with other Universities, research centres and companies active in the area.

At the end of the Master's degree, students will have multidisciplinary training in both the chemical aspects related to nanoscience (bottom-up approach to nanoscience for the design of functional molecules and supramolecular structures; intermolecular interactions; molecular self-assembly and self-organisation), and the physical aspects (top-down approach to nanofabrication, physical techniques for the manipulation, organisation and characterisation of nanomaterials).

On the other hand, you will learn to approach scientific problems from the perspective of Materials Science. Finally, you will acquire an overview of the impact of nanoscience on other scientific and technological areas of interest such as electronics, chemistry, biomedicine and materials science.
