At K.U.Leuven an interdisciplinary Master of Nanosciences and Nanotechnology is offered. The programme runs over the disciplines of three contributing Faculties i.e. Natural Sciences, Applied Sciences and Applied Biological Sciences. Part of the teaching staff is related to IMEC, bringing a strong component in the area of nanoelectronics to the Themes of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The program combines fundamental courses in the various disciplines with a strong engineering component. In addition there are courses organised as project work offered in which students can get hands on training in clean room fabrication, system design in collaboration wit the research groups at IMEC. K.U.Leuven has a strong research component in the area Nanoscience, Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics. The research in this area is done in strong collaboration with the research groups of the three faculties at K.U.Leuven and the research institute IMEC in Leuven. The research groups at K.U.Leuven and at IMEC are recognized worldwide in this field. IMEC has research programs spanning the range of academic research and industrial research with important industrial players. The research strategy is based on a system oriented vision, which is reflected in the offered course modules. Important research topics are spintronics, nanoelectronic materials and fabrication methods, bionanosystems, nanofluidics, nanometrology, nanophotonics and nanolithography
