Study of Nanotechnology gave me a solid basis for a career in industry, in the role of a materials engineer. I am glad that, thanks to the great flexibility of the study program, I had the opportunity to start my career at Corning Optical Communications already during my master's studies and carry out research and later thesis work for the company.

About the field of study
The primary goal of Nanotechnology is to prepare the graduate to take up professional challenges in an area combining chemistry, chemical technology and materials engineering in both domestic and foreign markets. The master's degree program in this field is designed to train specialists in the field with a thorough knowledge of the fields underlying nanoscience, as well as the engineering skills necessary to apply this knowledge in practice, which will allow them to work in both academic and industrial research centers at home and abroad, as well as continue their education in doctoral studies.
During the course of study, skills in the practical application of knowledge in the design, fabrication, modification, and analytics of nanomaterials are enhanced. Awareness of the risks associated with the use of nanoparticles and nanomaterials and knowledge of their impact on the environment and living organisms is fostered. Students deepen their knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry and materials science in the broadest sense useful for solving complex tasks in nanoscience and nanotechnology, as well as enabling them to see relationships and dependencies in nature. They gain knowledge of contemporary development trends and major advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology, as well as chemistry, biochemistry and materials engineering. They consistently apply and disseminate the principle of strict, empirically-based interpretation of natural phenomena and processes in research work and practical activities. They can apply basic techniques, equipment and tools used in solving complex engineering problems in the synthesis, modification and analysis of nanomaterials. Students use analytical and experimental methods to solve complex engineering problems and simple tasks. They also learn the principles of occupational safety and health to the extent that they can work independently at a test or measurement station, demonstrate responsibility for assessing the risks of research techniques and creating safe working conditions. They learn to plan and conduct experiments, interpret the results obtained and draw conclusions. They propose improvements to existing solutions and conduct a preliminary economic analysis of the engineering measures taken.
The exact list of courses taught in each semester can be found on the website.
