NanoEngineering

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Universität Duisburg-Essen Nordrhein-Westfalen · North Rhine-Westphalia Location: Duisburg

About the Program

The Bachelor's program in NanoEngineering offers interdisciplinary education at the interface between natural sciences and engineering. Nanotechnology involves developing structures and materials that are 1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, giving them unique properties. Nanotechnology can make decisive contributions to solving humanity's major challenges - sustainable energy supply to reduce global warming, communication, mobility, and health. As one of the key technologies of the 21st century, nanotechnology is increasingly in demand in industry as it creates a wide range of applications for products and markets. The NanoEngineering program provides a deep understanding of this interdisciplinary technology from the beginning. Through solid training in the fundamentals of natural sciences and engineering, combined with special courses on nanotechnology and mandatory industrial internship, as well as working on scientific projects in small groups, the program optimally prepares students for the requirements in science and industry. The goal of the NanoEngineering program is to prepare students for work in the field of nanotechnology from the first semester. After the six-semester program, graduates receive a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), which opens the way to career fields such as research and development, process and quality control, or sales. Alternatively, the bachelor's degree provides an excellent basis for entering a further master's program.
