Nanotechnology

The Doctoral Program in Nanotechnology is designed for professionals who aim to conduct cutting-edge research in physics, chemistry, materials engineering, and computational modeling of nanostructures and nanosystems.

The program is offered in cooperation with a foreign university based on a bilateral agreement. Each student is supervised by two advisors — one from the home institution and one from abroad — completes a long-term internship overseas, participates in joint research projects, and defends their dissertation before an international committee. The result is the award of a dual academic degree.

Program Overview

The field of Nanotechnology combines several scientific disciplines — from physics and chemistry to materials engineering and computational methods.
You will focus on the description, design, and fabrication of nanomaterials and nanosystems, which are used today in advanced industries such as medicine, semiconductors, and energy.

The program is designed to connect academic research with real-world applications.
Through your international internship, you will work in modern laboratories, tackle real research challenges, and participate in international projects. The program prepares you not only for a scientific career, but also for opportunities in high-tech industries.

Why Study This Field?

Because nanotechnology is one of the most promising fields of our time.
It has a direct impact on the development of new medicines, electronics, protective coatings, and smart materials. You will gain unique knowledge and skills that will allow you to become part of top-level research and international innovation teams.

Moreover, this program offers a dual international degree, a long-term internship abroad, hands-on research experience during your studies, and mentorship from leading experts.
This is not just another study program — it is a step into the scientific future, where you will help shape the direction of progress.

Practical Focus of the Studies

You won’t just sit over theory.
Under the supervision of academic experts from VŠB-TUO and the partner foreign university, you’ll be involved in research projects with real impact from the very beginning.

You’ll work with modern experimental methods, learn to design and test new nanostructures and nanomaterials, and use simulations and computational modeling to predict material properties.

A mandatory research internship abroad is part of the program, during which you will complete part of your dissertation work.
This experience will give you practical expertise as well as direct connections within the international scientific community.
The study is highly individualized, centered on your own research, guided by top experts from both universities.

During your studies, you will acquire:

• deep interdisciplinary knowledge in physics, chemistry, mathematics, materials engineering, and computer science,
• the ability to design, analyze, and test nanostructures and advanced materials,
• advanced modeling and simulation techniques used in state-of-the-art research,
• skills for independent scientific work and collaboration in international teams,
• proficiency in professional communication within an international research environment,
• experience in publishing scientific papers and presenting at international conferences.

With such a unique education, you will have no difficulty finding your place — in academia, research, or industry.
You will become a specialist in the nanoscale world, sought after by both companies and research institutions.

You may find employment as a:

• researcher or R&D specialist in academic or scientific institutes,
• industrial research and innovation expert,
• university lecturer,
• laboratory or metrology manager,
• production technologist in high-tech industries,
• member or leader of international research teams.

The international character of the program opens doors to the European and global research community, significantly enhancing your competitiveness in the global job market.
