Description and objectives
This Master's Degree is taught in English and is organized by the University of Valencia, the Autonomous University of Madrid, the University of Alicante, the University of Valladolid, the University of La Laguna, the University of Castille-La Mancha and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche.
The aim of this Master's Degree is to train students in the fields of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology so that they will then either be able to start work in this field of knowledge or carry out research with a view towards a Doctoral Thesis. This Master's Degree encompasses several disciplines: Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Materials Science, Biochemistry, Pharmacy and Medicine.
The Master's Degree curriculum deals with the fields of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and Molecular Systems. Therefore, it explores areas of science of growing interest such as molecular electronics, molecular magnetism, supramolecular chemistry, the chemistry of surfaces and the science of molecular materials.
This interuniversity Master's Degree has two main objectives:
- To establish a national standard of excellence in molecular science that permits students to research this area of knowledge or acquire knowledge and skills for subsequently finding a career in high-technology companies.
- To create a competitive, multidisciplinary scientific community in Spain to perform research in these subjects. Consequently, this Master's Degree is a suitable framework reference to promote mobility and interaction between students from different areas and contact with other universities, research centers and companies in the sector.
Student profiles
This Master's Degree encompasses several disciplines and accepts students from different specialties such as Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Materials Science, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy and Medicine.
On completing the Master's Degree, students will have multidisciplinary training in chemistry related to Nanoscience (a bottom-up approach in Nanoscience for the design of functional molecules and supramolecule structures, intermolecular interaction, self assembly of molecules and self-organization) and in Physics (a top down approach in nanomanufacturing, physical manipulation techniques, organization and determination of nanomaterials).
They will also learn how to tackle scientific problems from the perspective of the Science of materials. Finally, they will learn about the impact of nanoscience in other areas of science and technology.
Professional Training
This Master's Degree targets graduates from different specialties, mainly Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Materials Science, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy and Medicine.
Most of the recently qualified graduates will carry out research at different laboratories, and many of them will doing doctoral studies.
