Nanotechnologia

Do you want to become an engineer and work on modern solutions that improve the quality of life and the condition of the natural environment? Are you looking for prospects for a stable and well-paid job? Are you striving to combine engineering passion with chemical knowledge and fascination with new materials? If the answer to at least one of these questions is "yes", then nanotechnology is right for you!

Work in the space industry or in medicine? Nothing is impossible for nanotechnology graduates! Space travel and the colonization of Mars will require the use of super-fast and ultra-light computers, durable and light suits equipped with resistant and stable life support systems, and stable, efficient and ultra-light solar batteries, because the launch of every kilogram into space is expensive. Simple, miniaturized and comprehensive medical kits for diagnosis and treatment will protect space colonizers against diseases, and a balanced diet and sports equipment will maintain their good physical condition and the efficiency of their muscles. No, it's not science fiction! The equipment of Polish companies, for which nanomaterials and nanotechnologies were needed, are already working on Mars, including on board the InSight probe. On Earth, too, we need new materials for electronics. Have you heard of nanotubes and nanofibers made from natural raw materials instead of steel? Maybe you want to participate in the creation of such inventions?

An interesting job prospect for a nanotechnology engineer may be employment in a pharmaceutical company that produces drugs packed in intelligent nanocapsules, which selectively reach the diseased organ, while not poisoning the whole organism. Or in a medical company developing modern gene therapies, working on solving the problem of increasing microbial resistance to antibiotics, or in therapies used to treat new diseases. Another interesting activity may be the construction of diagnostic or surgical nanobots for medicine, or the creation of intelligent surfaces and biomaterials from which future dressings, implants or materials to help heal extensive burns will be built. Nanomaterials are already used in medical diagnostics, and some metal nanoparticles have bactericidal properties. Today nanomedicine needs talented engineers.

All these areas of innovation need nanotechnologists! As a graduate of Nanotechnology, you will also find employment in professions which require the knowledge and engineering competences acquired during studies in chemistry and materials engineering. Three and a half years of study and you have so many job opportunities! And if an engineer is not enough for you, you can continue your studies at master's studies or pursue combined studies with the University of Twente, which end with obtaining two diplomas of very good universities! Regardless of the chosen path of master's studies, you will do the research work as part of a semester R&D project, carried out in research centres or nanotechnology companies in Poland or abroad.
