Nanoscience is an emerging field of research related to the capability to construct extremely small objects (nanotechnology). It is a highly cross-disciplinary research area, which is going to play a crucial role in future scientific discoveries and new technologies. Thus, in the near future individuals with proper skills and experience in Nanoscience will be required by advanced research and technological centers. For this reason, theMaterials Physics Department (UPV/EHU)and theCenter of Materials Physics (CSIC-UPV/EHU),in collaboration with theDonostia International Physics Centerand theCIC Nanogune, offer a new postgraduate program in Nanoscience. Participants will complete an individualized two-year program with 120 credits (ECTS) to be granted a Master’s degree in Nanoscience (MSc). Research with internationally renowned teams, direct contact with senior researchers and the possibility of further study is offered as an integral part of the program.
Goals To provide the student with the basic concepts and the most commonly used working tools in the field of Nanoscience, including the use and interpretation of the results of the experimental techniques that are specific of the Nanotechnology research laboratories, topics related to the nanomaterials and their applications, and a general knowledge on the research activity at the international level in the field of Nanoscience. In addition, during his/her research work, the student will receive, based on his/her choice, the skills that are necessary in the research work devoted to applications that is developed in Technological Centers, or those necessary in the basic/oriented research that is carried out in academic research groups. The students will be also able to start developing the research work that may allow obtaining the PhD degree.
Credit Requirements Teaching Period The teaching period starts in October 2007 and spans two years. A personal academic advisors will assist to each student in the choice of courses and in ensuring that the program is finished successfully within two years. As a general rule, during the first year the student is expected to devote most of the time to follow the compulsory courses while the second year activity will be mainly focused on the research work (Master thesis) and elective courses. Credits required to complete the Master's program Students are required to complete the individualized two-year program with 120 ECTS credits to be granted a Master's degree in Nanoscience (MSc). · Fundamental courses (21 ECTS)· Core courses (34.5 ECTS) · Elective courses (19.5 ECTS) · Master Thesis (45 ECTS)

Research Activity: Master Thesis Students will devote most of their second year in the program to develop a research project of their own, in order to complete the Master’s thesis. Well-recognized international research teams will host the students, providing a first-class scientific environment that will help the students to grow the necessary capabilities to bring to completion their scientific research project. The research work initiated during the Master’s program can also be the starting point of a Doctoral research work, that may eventually lead to the obtention of the European PhD degree (Doctor Europeus). The students will have the opportunity to carry out research activities in close contact with nearby Technological Centers coordinated by CIC Nanogune. Finally, the student will be able to have direct contact with high-level researchers, visiting from other institutions, facilitating further scientific stages in centers of high international reputation.
