The University of Copenhagen offers courses in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology on bachelor, masters and PhD levels. The first students began a complete interdisciplinary bachelor and masters education in Nanoscience in September 2002.

The new interdisciplinary area covered by the terms "nanoscience" and "nanotechnology" will have a great influence on future scientific and technological development all over the world. Nanotechnology and Nanoscience deals with understanding and utilising nano scale structures.

The basic education includes both physics, chemistry and biology, but nano systems are at the forefront from the very beginning. The education opens the door to many opportunities: With a bachelor degree it is possible to continue studying and become cand.scient. or PhD in nanoscience. It is also possible to switch to one of the classic masters educations like biochemistry, human biology, chemistry, bioinformatics or physics.

Students with a degree in Nanoscience are much-coveted on the job market both in Denmark and abroad. The knowledge offered by nanoscience is going to be important in all fields of technology in the future.
