Master's program in Nanotechnology
Introduction
- The Master's Program in Nanotechnology is based on the program of Osaka University (Japan) with some adjustment to match the situation in Vietnam.
- The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, deepening the specialized knowledge as well as expand the interdisciplinary knowledge in order to understand the issues related to the Nano-sized world and master the advanced technology in the field of Nano Science.
- Through the program, students will be able to accumulate skills in research methods, detecting, analyzing and problem solving abilities, the fabrication process, the materials survey and Nano devices. On that basis, students can research and apply components and nano materials into practice in fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, environment, energy... To update the latest achievements of Nano Science and Technology in the world, some of newest research in the field of Nanotechnology in Vietnam, Japanese and abroad as well will be put into teaching content.
- Duration: 24 months
- Training method: Fulltime
- Teaching language: Vietnamese and English
- Language of instruction:
- Location: Vietnam Japan University - My Dinh Campus

“Nanotechnology is the field that changes the world. The Master’s program in Nanotechnology at VJU aims to cultivate human resources who are largely expected to develop and aggressively progress Vietnamese industry and academia for future national growth. Especially, this program puts much emphasis on the abilities of students to look at the nanoscopic view from the quantum-level, and through deep thought and the resolution of complex problems to make ceaseless breakthroughs in high technology. Also, the needs of the interdisciplinary nature of the course involving physics, chemistry and biological engineering are well met by the well-organized curriculum provided by international and professional faculty members. Students can get more than the double major necessary for producing future innovative ideas and hints. We welcome young persons who have the high degree of motivation and potential needed for the VJU nanotechnology program.”
