Información General

El Máster en Nanociencia y Nanotecnología Molecular responde al perfil académico e investigador a través de una oferta de asignaturas en áreas científicas y tecnológicas de interés actual como son la Electrónica Molecular, el Nanomagnetismo y la Espintrónica Molecular, la Química Supramolecular, la Física de Superficies, o la Ciencia de los Materiales Moleculares. La orientación 'molecular' de este master en Nanociencia lo hace único a nivel nacional y permite desarrollar aquellos aspectos de la nanociencia que se encuentran en la intersección entre la física, la química y la biología/medicina, haciéndolo realmente multidisciplinar.

 The joint Master's in Molecular Nanoscience and Nanotechnology responds to academic and research profiles through the range of courses it offers in scientific and technological areas of interest today such as molecular electronics, molecular nanomagnetism and spintronics, supramolecular chemistry, surface physics, and molecular materials science. Its 'molecular' orientation in nanoscience is unique in Spain and this allows exploring those aspects of nanoscience that are found at the intersection between physics, chemistry, and biology/medicine, making this program truly multidisciplinary.

 

El carácter interuniversitario del Máster (i) posibilita la movilidad de los estudiantes en actividades de formación programadas en las distintas sedes (presentación pública de trabajos, ciclos de conferencias, exposición de trabajos y otros eventos); (ii) dota al máster de un nivel científico y de una multidisciplinaridad no alcanzable por ninguna de las universidades por separado, ya que consigue reunir una plantilla de profesorado formada por los mejores investigadores de cada una de las universidades participantes; iii) favorece la consolidación en España de una comunidad de jóvenes científicos formados en esta área de investigación estratégica; (iv) propicia la movilidad de los estudiantes en las distintas sedes para la realización de determinadas fases del proyecto de investigación.

The master's interuniversity nature: (i) enables student mobility in organized training activities at its various locations (public presentations of work, lecture series, work exhibitions, and other events); (ii) affords a scientific and multidisciplinary level unattainable by any of the universities individually, as it has managed to assemble a body of faculty comprised of the finest researchers from each of the participating universities; (iii) favors the consolidation in Spain of a community of young scientists trained in this strategic research area; (iv) encourages student mobility at its various locations for completing certain stages of the research Project.
