Below you will find detailed information on the application procedure and the criteria for eligibility, as well as on the additional steps that you may have to take to obtain your student's visa. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you should have further questions.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
A Bachelor degree in the field of science or engineering, for example Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Electrical Engineering, or Material Science, is required to be eligible for the Master of Nanoscale Engineering. The minimum number of associated credits is 180, which normally corresponds to having completed a three-year Bachelor program. Furthermore, a reasonable command of the English language (spoken and in written form) is necessary. However, students have the right to receive French versions of all exams if they prefer.
Note that it is possible to apply directly for the second year of the program if you have already completed - or if you are in the process of completing - a nanotechnology-related Master year at another university.
The selection committee will evaluate prospective students based on their academic background and their motivation letter. Proof of additional qualifications such as language certificates and recommendation letters will be taken into account as well, if such items are included in the application documents.
