Nanoscience

The Top Master programme in Nanoscience aims to train the cutting-edge scientists of the future. This is achieved by offering a challenging interdisciplinary programme and by admitting only very talented and motivated students. The teaching programme 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 scientific research, alongside world-class scientists, using the state-of-the-art facilities of the Zernike Institute. Participants come from all over the world, as is the case with the scientists at the Zernike Institute. A fellowship programme is available, allowing students to join on the basis of their abilities, regardless of their financial situation.

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. Students who successfully complete the Top Master’s programme in Nanoscience will, under certain conditions, be offered a PhD position within the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials.
