Objectives (Program)

Objectives : The program trains students in the multidisciplinary aspect of nanotechnologies and focuses on different approaches used in the domain: fundamental phenomena at the nanoscale, nanofabrication and synthesis of nanostructures, characterization of nanostructures, and modeling and numerical simulations at the nanoscale.

Description

Practical aspects : The training is a programme of minimum 60 ECTS (75 ECTS if additional prerequisites are necessary) organized around three specializations:

► nanoelectronics: micro- and nano-electronics, MEMS, NEMS, electronic characterizations, quantum phenomena, molecular transports, spintronics,…

► nanomaterials: nanocomposites, nanothreads, nanotubes, polymers, synthesis of nanoparticles, chemical characterizations, physics and chemical physics, quantum chemistry and physics, numerical simulations, …

► nanobiotechnologies: biomaterials, biophysics, nanomedicine, biosensors,...

 

The program trains students in the multidisciplinary aspect of nanotechnologies and, to do so, it focuses on different approaches used in the domain: fundamental phenomena at the nanoscale, nanofabrication and synthesis of nanostructures, characterization of nanostructures, and modeling and numerical simulations at the nanoscale.

 

It also prepares the students to societal impacts of nanotechnologies via transversal seminars on the following themes: ethics, economical aspects, applications of nanotechnologies, toxicity of nanomaterials, …

 

The full training program can be consulted on the UCL website.

Organizational modalities

Where is training organized:
in the 5 University sites (Université Catholique de Louvain, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Université de Liège, Université de Mons, and Université de Namur).
