Introduction

The programme trains students in the multidisciplinary aspects of nanotechnology and allows them to specialise in one of the following areas:

• nanoelectronics and quantum devices (organised by UCLouvain)
• nanostructures and interfaces (organised by ULB),
• chemistry and physics of nanomaterials (organised by ULiège),
• nanomaterials and surfaces (organised by UMons),
• electronic and optical properties of nanomaterials and interfaces (organised by UNamur).

The Advanced Master in Nanotechnology is an inter-university. The Université catholique de Louvain is co-certifying this Master's degree with the Université de Namur, the Université libre de Bruxelles, the University of Liège and the Université de Mons. UCLouvain is the reference institution and is responsible for the administrative management of the program (administration, registration, etc.).
