Courses and programmes

The PhD programme has an innovative structure, which includes various types of training activities.

The PhD program in Nanotechnology at the University of Trieste offers a wide range of courses focused on current research topics and theoretical/experimental techniques. These classes are designed to be accessible, catering to students from diverse scientific backgrounds. 

Our training program equips students with the essential skills required to address complex scientific and technological challenges in the field of nanotechnology. These challenges often necessitate a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, ensuring that you are well-prepared for real-world applications. 

Many courses are taught by external instructors, including renowned researchers from institutions within our doctoral network. This unique collaboration provides valuable expertise and fresh perspectives that significantly enhance the learning experience. 

In addition to traditional lectures, we organize thematic seminars on topics of interest.
