Would you like to gain further qualification in the field of nanotechnology, while learning more about German culture and language? Then “Finding Nano” is exactly the right Summer School program for you. TUM is involved in a large number of research clusters and initiatives related to nanotechnology, such as the excellence cluster NIM (Nanosystems Initiative Munich).

Next course: 16.06.-27.07.2014 

  • Main emphasis: Nanotechnology, German language course
  • Target groups and pre­requisites: International students of natural sciences and engineering who have completed an introduction to quantum physics
  • Program fee: 3,300.00 € (including accommodation and meals)
  • Application period: 15 December 2013 to 15 March 2014
  • Course syllabus

The NanoScience lectures provide a comprehensive introduction to the current stage of development in nanotechnology, from the electronic properties of nano materials, to its production processes and its applications.


The program's NanoTECH module offers students the chance to collaborate on a one-week laboratory project of their choice (nano­imprinting, organic sensors or photovoltaic). Through on-site visits to industrial locations (e.g. General Electric, BMW) and research institutes (e.g. Max-Planck-Institute, Walter-Schottky-Institute), participants get a close-up look at the current status of local industry research. This early contact plants the seeds for potentially long-term contacts with both the TUM and its industry partners.


The course program is supplemented by an intensive German language course and a cultural and free-time program to take in the sights and discover Munich.
