Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
- First year: If you have completed a Bachelor\xc2\x92s degree in Science or are enrolled in the final semester of a Bachelor\xc2\x92s programme in Science, you are eligible to apply for the Master\xc2\x92s programme N2. Your initial background should be in one or more of the following fields: math, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, nanosciences and nanotechnologies.
- Second year: to be eligible you should have completed, or be enrolled in, a first year of a Master programme in Science, and totalize 60 ETCS.
You must choose one of the three tracks: nanophysics, nanochemistry or nanobiology.
You are also eligible if you have followed or are following a Batchelor programme in Science of four years or more.
In this case, your background must allow you to follow the 2nd year courses of the master N2.
It is recommended that you first take contact with the coordinator of the 2nd year track in which you plan to apply.
It is highly recommended that you send by email the following documents to the appropriate contact person (see here) who will advise you for your questions on your scolarity and your application:
- Curriculum Vitae
