The programme spans over two years, where the first three semesters are devoted to course work, whereas the final semester is aimed for the diploma work. The courses are either compulsory or eligible, where the specific choice in the latter case provides a possibility for profiling towards Nanoelectronics or Nanomaterials. The nanomaterials track offers an opportunity for a sustainability profile. Courses with such learning outcomes are also optional for the Nanoelectronics track and are included in the compulsory course Introduction to Nanotechnology. The fourth semester is dedicated for the thesis project.
