Curriculum outline

The Top Master programme in Nanoscience has a two-year curriculum (equivalent to 120 ECTS). New students can commence with the programme once each year, around 1 September. For a good overview, we present the two-year curriculum at a glance in this pdf-document. In short, the first year starts with lectures, self study, and exercises. The second year is mainly focussed on the master thesis project.

These are the main elements of the curriculum:

• Weeks 1 to 5 are for Guided self-study, to remedy any deficiencies a student may have.
• Weeks 6 to 22 comprise the Core modules.
• The remainder of the program consists of four individual projects, with a few elective courses in parallel:
• Weeks 23 to 43 are reserved for Electives, for writing a Review paper and for participating in a Small research project, culminating in a symposium presentation.
• The second year will concentrate on further Electives, writing a PhD research proposal, and for the largest part on the Master thesis project.

Below, an overview of year 1 and year 2 is provided.
