Master studies
INMA members collaborate in the planning and teaching of the following Master’s degree programs at the University of Zaragoza. Students wishing to join a master’s program have the opportunity to get started in research using the facilities of a reference research institute.
This official Master from Zaragoza University (Spain) has a duration of one academic year and comprises 60 ECTS credits. The course is suitable for graduates with science, engineering, medicine or related degrees keen to develop careers at the forefront of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The course is multidisciplinary and aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge, practical experience, and skills in the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured materials and devices with applications in key areas of nanochemistry, nanophysics, and nano-biomedicine.
The Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragon – INMA (CSIC-Universidad de Zaragoza) have exceptional materials preparation and characterization equipment, including some unique instruments in Spain and Europe.
At the end of the previous studies, students must develop a Master’s Thesis (TFM). The following is the offer of TFM directed or co-directed by INMA members.
