Master in Nanotechnologies for ICTs

For Master in Nanotechnologies for ICTs, the application deadline for the Sep 2027 intake is Aug 31, 2027; tuition is 2,600 USD per year.

Nanotechnologies for ICTs is a master's degree program taught in English at Politecnico di Torino, in Torino, Italy, over a two-year course of study. This field applies nanotechnology, the study and manipulation of materials and structures at the nanometer scale, to information and communication technologies, exploring how nanoscale materials and devices can improve electronics, computing and communication systems. Students typically study solid-state physics, semiconductor devices, and the fabrication techniques used to build nanoscale electronic and photonic components, alongside more general subjects in materials science and device engineering. Coursework often extends into areas such as nanoelectronics, sensors, quantum devices, and the characterization methods used to study materials at very small scales, including microscopy and spectroscopy. Because nanotechnology increasingly underlies advances in computing, sensing and communication hardware, students may also encounter subjects connected to energy-efficient electronics, photonics, or emerging device architectures beyond conventional silicon-based technology. Graduates from this kind of program are prepared for research and development roles in semiconductor and electronics companies, telecommunications firms, and research institutions working on next-generation computing and sensing hardware. Some continue into doctoral study, given the close connection between nanotechnology and ongoing research into new materials and device concepts. Torino, where Politecnico di Torino is based, is a city in the Piedmont region of northern Italy with a long engineering and industrial tradition. Studying this master's program in English allows international students to pursue advanced study in nanotechnology and electronics, with admission open to holders of a bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification.

Studying in Turin offers international students a dynamic experience in the heart of Northern Italy. As a hub of industrial innovation and cultural heritage, the city provides an inspiring backdrop for academic pursuits, balancing rigorous technical training with a vibrant urban lifestyle that connects students to the broader European landscape of research and design. At the Politecnico di Torino, students benefit from a high-performance environment consistently recognized for its academic excellence and strong industry ties. With a track record of high graduate employability and a commitment to interdisciplinary science and sustainability, the university provides a comprehensive platform for students looking to shape the future of technology and engineering on a global scale.
