Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

Master in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies

Nanochemistry 1st and 2nd year

Presentation and goals

The course offers disciplinary training focused on development and characterization at the nanometric scale with a strong multidisciplinary dimension (physics, soft matter, biology). It relies on research units working in this field, in particular in relation to the Fondation Nanosciences de Grenoble.

It provides students with skills in the development, manipulation, characterization, understanding and exploitation of nano-systems, nano-materials, nano-structures and unique molecules, as well as knowledge of their application potentials. It makes students aware of the environmental and societal challenges of nanotechnologies.

The course is open to an international audience. All lessons are held in English during both years.

The program is structured as follows :

  • A common program with Lab sessions on platforms dedicated to nanosciences
  • Specific modules in nanochemistry
  • Elective modules for more in-depth study and/or towards sister disciplines
  • Two full-time internships in a research laboratory, 8 weeks during the 1st year and 5 months during the 2nd year. Part-time research activity may be undertaken during the teaching period.

This Master Course gives you the opportunity to apply to the UGA Graduate School and one of its 15 thematic programs. The Graduate School@UGA is a new training program through and for research which was launched in 2021 within the Université Grenoble Alpes, and which concerns all the schools and components of the UGA.

The objective of these thematic programs is to offer interested students an interdisciplinary training program and academic excellence combining university studies and laboratory internships. Each thematic program develops a specific line of research, allowing then to embark on a PhD, or to have a direct professional insertion.

The program regroups students registered in different mentions, master programs or engineer school tracks and working together in specific courses

Participation in the Graduate School@UGA is for two years (M1 and M2) and may open the possibility of obtaining an academic scholarship for two years for the best international students (non-French baccalaureate holders).

International dimension :

Internationally-oriented programmes, Double degrees, joint degrees, Erasmus Mundus

This program can be followed within the framework of an Erasmus Mundus in partnership Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) (Belgium).

All students start their first year at the KU Leuven where they follow a common set of compulsory courses and some electives to prepare for their specialisation option.

For their second year, they select a specialization area at one of the Consortium Partners where they follow specialisation and broadening courses and do their master thesis research project.

Professor in charge of Erasmus Mundus: Mr. David FERRAND

 

Grenoble is a world-renowned competitiveness cluster in the field of nanotechnologies. Students can realise the international dimension of nanosciences and nanotechnologies, through international partnerships with universities and collaborations with numerous laboratories. Internships abroad are possible and encouraged. This program is part of the Erasmus+ Mundus Master (EMM) consortium in Nanosciences and nanotechnologies. The EMM Nano students join the nanochemistry program in the second year.
