Nanoscience, nanotechnologies and engineering at the nanoscale are domains of utmost importance for economic development. Fundamentally challenging, research of exceptional quality is essential to enable exploration of terra incognita. A new generation of scientists, leading innovation and creativity, must be trained alongside world-class specialists whilst also being introduced to the importance of an interdisciplinary R&D approach. This is the main goal of the international master of Nanoscale Science & Engineering. Located at the world-renowned research and teaching center in Toulouse, you will be introduced to the various physics, chemistry and material sciences that inter-link to form groundbreaking Nanoscience and engineering technologies.

Job opening
Most senior scientists earned a doctoral degree or a master’s degree. APhD is a 3-year work experience as a research assistant, that may favor entering the high-tech job market after completing the PhD.
At the end of the master, the graduates will be ready to candidate to Doctoral programs, such as those offered by the Materials Science doctoral school in Toulouse. For more information, please visit our dedicated page.
English Proficiency
For non-native English applicants, one of the following proof of English proficiency is required:
- TOEIC > 750
- TOEFL iBT > 85
- IELTS > 6.5
- CAE/FCE exam score > 160
- College English Test, CET 6
- a certificate from your institution stating that the medium of instruction has been English
FAQ
The International Master of Nanoscale Science & Engineering combines physics, chemistry, materials science, theory and experiments. I am a chemist, a lot of prerequisite in physics and mathematics are probably needed. Should I be scared?
- No. Not at all. For example, the hands-on tutorials at the AIME clean room are designed for post-bachelor students with a good general science knowledge and know-how.
What are the tuition fees in France?
- €243 per year at the master level for European Union (EU) students,
- €3,770 for non-EU students. Yet, and given an official decision of the University Paul Sabatier, the total registration fee that non-EU students will be required to pay for the 1-year Nanoscale Science end Engineering degree will also be €243 for the 2021-2022 school year.
€243 is quite cheap. Do such low-cost tuition fees involve a « third-rate » master program ?
- No. Definitely not. Choosing to study in France means gaining access to high-quality programmes and facilities. Tuition fees are low in public Higher education institutions because the French government subsidizes higher education. The true cost of education is the same as it is elsewhere in the world, the difference is that in France the government assumes a large share of that cost.

The Ecandidat application site is in French! Although Google translation is my friend, I do not understand what is required 🙁
