Prerequisites:

Course completion requirements: Assessment and completion of the course: Credit test and examination Continuous assessment: Student passes the continuous assessment and receives credits when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 21% out of 40%. Credit test Final assessment: Student passes the final assessment and passes the examination when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 31% out of 60%. Examination Overall assessment: Overall assessment is the sum of the assessments obtained by students in the assessment period. The overall result is determined in accordance with the internal regulations of the Technical University in Košice. (Study Regulations, the internal regulation principles of doctoral studies)

Learning outcomes: To provide students with the basic knowledge in the field of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The emphasis will be given on: i) the synthesis and structural characterisation of the major families of  nanomaterials ii) the nanostructure-driven physical phenomena   iii) the overview of important nanotechnology applications in modern industry.
