About the Program
The Nanostructure Sciences Bachelor program at the University of Kassel focuses on the study of nanostructures, which are formed when several molecules or atoms join together. One nanometer corresponds to one millionth of a millimeter. The program's main feature is a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach from three natural science disciplines: biology, chemistry, and physics. During the first semesters, students acquire broad basic knowledge in all three scientific disciplines. From the third and fourth semesters, students can choose at least two of the three natural sciences as a focus: Nanochemistry, Nanophysics, or Nanobiology. The program includes laboratory practicals in almost all subjects. Prospective students should have a basic interest in chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics, as well as curiosity and perseverance. Nanostructure science is considered a key discipline of the 21st century with excellent job prospects in basic research and application-oriented areas such as information and communication technology, materials development, and biomedicine.
