In this field there is an obvious trend towards systems which operate on the nanoscale. This includes the exciting areas of nanoscience, nanotechnology and catalysis: the fundamental units such as macromolecules, quantum structures and catalysts have dimensions on the nanometre scale. The challenges in this area of science include:
* the synthesis of functional units and their manipulation to form novel and 'artificial' solids;
* the study of fundamental processes in (nano)structured systems and the development of theory and models to explain new phenomena;
* the elucidation of structure-property relations;
* materials engineering and the application of materials in improved and novel devices.

In our programme, most of your time is devoted to carrying out research on your Master's research project. Most students choose to use 30 EC of their electives for one or two Internships outside Utrecht University (either in companies, research institutes, or universities abroad). The course work consist of lectures, tutorials and occasional small (group) projects which require two days on campus and a division of 50% contact hours and 50% self-study.
objectives
Since the programme aims to prepare students to pursue a PhD career, the majority of our students (75%) continue with a PhD after graduation. Once they have their PhD degree, some of them continue with an academic career, but the majority find excellent positions in R&D in a company or research institute (see below for examples). About 25% of our graduates enter the job market without a PhD title and can be found in various positions in companies, education or other institutions.
