Academic coordinator of the Master’s Degree in Nanoscience, Materials and Processes: Chemical Technology at the Frontier

“One of their main motivations is to do high-quality experimental research in one of the groups participating in the master.”

What is the profile and the motivation of the master’s degree students?

Master's degree students clearly have a scientific profile, they come from any branch of the experimental and technological sciences, and they have a clear vocation and interest in the latest developments in the field of science and technology. One of their main motivations is to do high-quality experimental research in one of the groups participating in the master.
What is the most unique feature of the master’s degree?

The most unique aspect of our the Master's Degree in Nanoscience, Materials and Processes: Chemical Technology at the Frontier is how it is divided up: most of the subjects are concentrated in the first four months period, leaving the second four months almost entirely for the dissertation. In this way, students concentrate on the experimental part of the master's degree for almost half of the course.
What do the students get out of the master’s degree programme?

We attach great importance to multi-disciplinarity: students acquire a range of multidisciplinary content that prepares them for a wide variety of professional situations. The competencies they acquire are just as important as the content: for example, the course is entirely in English, they learn to communicate scientific results both in writing and orally, and they gain experience working individually and as part of a team when they join a research group after finishing their master's degree thesis.
What impact does taking the master's degree have on the students' professional careers?

The multidisciplinary and research-focused nature of the master's degree prepares students for a professional career in a wide variety of situations. One logical outcome is to go on to do a PhD, but the knowledge and skills also qualify students to work in companies with a strong RDI component or in technology-based companies.
