Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

Soft Nano 2nd year

Presentation and goals

The M2 track Soft-Nano is focused on soft and complex micro-nano-systems whose self-organization capabilities, fluctuating dynamics, and sometimes active properties, lead to specific and surprising effects at the nanoscale, and have enormous potential for innovation in materials science and engineering. This track provides a broad expertise in fundamental physics, mechanics, chemistry, and surfaces science as well as experimental skills with top-equipment and cutting-edge techniques for the characterization of soft nanostructures, still emphasizing the importance of numerical and modelling tools. It prepares to a career in fundamental research or R&D departments of industries. The broad scientific scope is appreciated in a wide range of industrial domains.

 The curriculum contains:

  • General courses including nanosciences  and nanotechnologies specific to soft matter corresponding to 15 ECTS, among which 3 include the study of a foreign language
  • Elective courses (totalizing 18 ECTS) for further specialization or opening in nanosciences 
  • Internships in research teams, 4 to 6 months (27 ECTS)

For more informations on this track

This track is opened to international students. All courses are given in english.
