As with the Master’s degree programmes in electrical, electromechanic, physical, chemical, and materials science engineering, the objective of this major is to introduce students to the physics and simulation of materials and devices used in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies, to the properties and methods used to manufacture and characterise micro and nanostructures, to the ways in which nano-devices function as well as to the development and integration of (bio) organic elements in nano-systems.
