M.Sc. Nano Science & Technology or Master of Science in Nano Science & Technology is a postgraduate Nanotechnology course. Candidates will learn the basics of physics, biology and chemistry at the nanometre scale, topped with courses on technology and engineering to ensure practical know-how. The programme fits into the growing worldwide convergence between these different basic sciences, and between science, technology, and engineering sciences in general. Program studies the relationship between artificial and biological systems on a nano-meter scale and its application in various fields. The course develops an understanding of related disciplines such as Nano-electronics, Nano-medicine, Nano-optics, Nano-biotechnology, Nano-materials, Nano-mechanics and Nano-particles & Nano-materials. Nanotechnology aims at the design and creation of functional materials, structures, devices and systems through direct control of matter on the nano-meter length scale and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties on this length scale.
