Nanotechnology is considered one of the most promising fields of research and application in the world. The nanosciences are one of the major research areas at the University of Hamburg and are among the most important research centers in an international comparison. The interdisciplinary course is offered by the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. The master's degree deepens the knowledge and methods from the bachelor's degree, with a focus on nanoanalysis, nanomaterials, nanostructuring methods, nanobiotechnology and technological applications.


The degree program is divided into a development phase, a technical in-depth phase and a research phase:


  • In the development phase , the fundamentals of nanoscience acquired in the bachelor's program are supplemented with compulsory modules from solid state physics, nanostructure physics, physical chemistry and materials chemistry
  • In the technical deepening phase, the necessary advanced knowledge in the nanosciences is developed, which is required for independent productive work. It includes elective modules that are based on the research areas and focal points of the chemistry and physics departments.
  • The research phase consists of a project study in chemistry or physics and the master's thesis. The project study should lead to the master's thesis and will be coordinated with the later supervisor of the master's thesis.
