Nanotechnology

The Nanotechnology program opens the door to a fascinating world where science operates on a scale a thousand times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
This follow-up master’s program is designed for those who already have a background in materials science, applied physics, chemistry, or related fields and wish to take their knowledge to the next level.

You will gain a deep theoretical understanding of the relationships between structure and properties of nanomaterials — not only optical, but also magnetic and mechanical. But don’t expect only textbooks: you’ll work with state-of-the-art instruments in modern laboratories and participate in both research and practical projects.

The program also offers opportunities for international internships — for example, in France, Japan, China, or the USA. Whether you aim to work in industry or research, this program will provide you with a strong foundation and valuable international experience.

Program Overview

Nanotechnology is one of the fastest-developing areas of modern science and industry. In this field, we manipulate materials at the level of individual atoms and molecules — where entirely new functions and properties emerge, transforming industry, electronics, healthcare, and energy.

During your studies, you will explore the relationship between the structure of nanomaterials and their optical, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties. The curriculum includes topics from solid-state physics, materials chemistry, advanced analytical methods, and modern technologies for the preparation and processing of nanomaterials.

Why Study This Field?

Because nanotechnology is shaping the future. From the development of thin-film sensors, bioactive surfaces, and composites with extreme properties to anti-counterfeiting security features, the potential applications of nanotechnology are almost limitless.

This program opens the door to real-world projects in high-tech companies, research institutions, and international teams working on next-generation materials.
It also develops your ability to conduct independent scientific and professional work, present results, and collaborate internationally.

Practical Focus of the Studies

The program is strongly oriented toward applying knowledge in real research and industrial settings. You will learn how to:

• prepare and characterize nanomaterials,
• work with electron microscopy, spectroscopic techniques, and mechanical testing,
• analyze the relationship between material structure and function,
• use advanced software for simulations and data evaluation.

Emphasis is placed on independent experimental projects, which students join from the very first semesters.
The practical part of the studies often takes place in close cooperation with industrial partners or within international research projects.

Graduates of the Nanotechnology Master’s program will acquire:

• a deep theoretical understanding of physics, chemistry, and materials science,
• practical skills in technological procedures, nanomaterial synthesis, and characterization methods,
• the ability to design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and propose solutions,
• professional communication skills in both Czech and English,
• competence in presenting research results at conferences and workshops,
• experience in teamwork and leading project segments.

Graduates in Nanotechnology are in high demand — both in the Czech Republic and abroad. They can find employment in:

• industrial companies producing nanomaterials and nanostructured systems,
• research and development centers focused on new materials,
• laboratories working in electronics, chemical, pharmaceutical, or automotive industries,
• startup companies engaged in applied research,
• and the academic environment — many graduates continue to doctoral studies and pursue scientific careers.

Typical positions include:

• operator or administrator of nanomaterial characterization equipment,
• materials technician or technologist,
• research team member in public or private sectors,
• quality control specialist in materials engineering,
• PhD student in a research group in the Czech Republic or abroad.
