Master of Science in Applied Nanotechnology
The Master of Science in Applied Nanotechnology is unique in the Netherlands. The most distinguishing feature is its focus on the development of innovative micro- and nanotechnology-based products and applications. The fusion of elements from biology, chemistry, electrical engineering and physics results in nanotechnological materials and devices with unprecedented properties. The programme only starts in September and is taught entirely in English.
The duration of the master’s programme is two years. The programme provides you with a thorough basis in practical experience supported by appropriate theory. During the 2nd year, you'll be working on your master thesis project at a company. Check the section ‘Course Content’ for specific information.

Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų (kokio balo reikalauja tavo pasirinkta programa rasi prie programos stojimo reikalavimų):
- IELTS
- TOEFL
Your admission is conditional on you holding a Bachelor degree in one of the following subjects:
Biology & Medical Laboratory Research
Chemical Engineering
Chemistry
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Engineering Physics
Mechatronics, Industrial Design Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
or a comparable subject.
An intake interview forms part of the admission procedure. You will receive an email invite for this. The intake interview will focus on the match between your background and expectations on the one hand and the programme on the other. The outcome of this interview is non-binding.
Nanotechnology generates ever more jobs in the Netherlands, particularly in the Eastern Netherlands. The Twente region has the highest concentration of high-tech businesses (almost 400) in the country. Working closely with the University of Twente, Saxion and active partners from the public sector, these businesses develop nanoscience and nanotechnology knowledge and apply it to design new products. Three or four new start-ups emerge in Twente every year.
As holder of a Master degree in Applied Nanotechnology, you will be able to find employment in a number of technical positions, such as product engineer, application engineer, project engineer or R&D engineer. You will be part of research and development teams for start-ups, crossovers and knowledge institutions. Here you will learn to develop new products and/or processes, conquer new markets, design new applications or modify and implement existing products and/or processes. Naturally, you may also be appointed to business-facing positions, where you will use your technical/development know-how to market innovative applications to clients and customise them to their wishes.
