About this programme

Description MSc in Nanoscience and Technology is a new graduate programme, and the first of its kind in China. It is an interdisciplinary and research-based programme with a focus on theoretical, experimental and practical subjects. The programme provides students with skills and abilities to handle concepts and methods within the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Furthermore, it provides basic knowledge of business innovation and entrepreneurship. The students in the Nanoscience and Technology programme will be recruited from many different BSc fields such as physics, chemistry, biology and nanoscience. A Nanoscience and Technology student will, however, obtain an interdisciplinary and thorough knowledge of the research methodology. This allows the student to work in projects that often involve colleagues from other disciplines. The two-year programme takes place in China. Career Opportunities With an MSc degree in Nanoscience and Technology you will gain academic skills that allow you to work in various areas such as: High-tech companies Chemical plants Biotechnology Energy Medicine Materials Research Food industry Research Institutions In addition to being able to work as a link between different professions, you will also have the advantage of knowing Chinese culture, traditions and language. This enables you to function as a bridging link between Danish and Chinese companies. Read more about the programme structure here.
