Chemistry of Nanomaterials

Nanomaterials are chemical substances whose particles are extremely small, giving them unique properties that differ from those of conventional materials. Nanomaterials chemistry allows us to study their creation, properties, and applications. You will deepen your theoretical knowledge and learn to synthesize and study nanostructures. In the laboratories, you will acquire practical skills in creating and analyzing nanomaterials, applying modern research methods, critically evaluating data, and solving new problems. This will help you prepare for a career in science, innovation, and industry.

  • Innovative field of chemistry
  • A strong balance of theory and practice
  • An international study environment
