Master Nanosciences, nanotechnologies

All courses except in the track "Ingeniérie des micro et nanostructures" (IMN) are taught in english and welcome local, national and international students. The IMN track is available in "alternance" for professional students who work in a company, and is taught in french.

Each year or the program is made of 60 ECTS. Students can apply either to the first year (M1) or the second year (M2) depending on their previous background. See admission requirements.

The first year has 3 majors, in NanoChemistry,  Nano- & QuantumPhysics, and Soft Matter & Biophysics, tailored to receive students according to their previous background. By a suitable choice of elective courses, it prepares them to several of the M2 tracks of the programm.

Formation through research

In addition to their academic courses students perform a 2 months research internship in May and June of their 1st year, credited 6 ECTS.
