Prospective Nanotechnology Students

Study nanotechnology in Hannover

Initiated by the Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Engineering, Leibniz University Hannover offers the interdisciplinary degree programme Nanotechnology. The Bachelor's programme qualifies students in the highly interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by combining the disciplines of chemistry, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and physics. The advanced Master's programme offers a wide range of specialisation options that can be individually designed. The primary course language is German.

Nanotechnology

The term nanotechnology refers to the production and use of structures that are smaller than 100 nm in at least one dimension. That is smaller than a thousandth of the diameter of a human hair! At this scale, things start to function ‘differently’; surface effects of materials and quantum mechanical effects are crucial.

Nanotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary science involving chemistry, physics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. It is one of the key technologies of the 21st century. The extensive application potential of nanotechnology can only be exploited in a way that makes economic sense if the effects and new properties of nanomaterials and nanostructures discovered in basic research are implemented in industrial products.

Module plan for the bachelor's degree

From the 4th semester onwards, students choose a specialisation in one natural science and in one engineering (i.e. chemistry or physics and electrical engineering or mechanical engineering).
