This new, modular MSc course in NanoBiosciences and NanoMedicine, jointly provided by three leading Universities in Vienna and Krems (about an hour’s drive from Vienna) offers up-to-the-minute knowledge at the challenging interface between nanotechnology and bio-medicine.

This highly innovative MSc course, leads students all the way from the fundamentals of biophysics, biochemistry and molecular biology, through microscopy techniques, nanostructures, devices and nanomaterials, to bio-nano-sensing and diagnostics, and also addresses potential risks and regulatory issues. The syllabus will cover applications of nanobioscience and nanomedicine in food, pharmaceutic, cosmetic and biomedical industries as well as medical diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, and their transfer into business.

The course is part-time over six semesters, and consists of 11 modules plus a master thesis (120 ECTS).

The International Master Program is guaranteed and managed by the academic staff leaders: Prof. DI Dr. Uwe B. Sleytr, Department of NanoBiotechnology, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna; Prof. Dr. Erich Gornik, Center for Micro- and Nanotechnology, Vienna University of Technology; Prof. Dr. Dieter Falkenhagen, Department for Clinical Medicine and Biotechnology, Danube University Krems.
