This program includes a graduate level educational package on nanotechnology as a support for practical training and laboratory infrastructure and industrial partnership.
MSC Programs
Academic Program
Definition and Purpose
This course is designed to educate higher-level undergraduates to conduct research and investigation in one of the fields of nano science and technology as well as to collaborate on teaching at universities and higher education institutes. Graduates of this course are able to work in industrial, medical and research centers in all fields related to nanotechnology. These graduates are also able to work in any educational centers as masters.
Necessity and Importance
The importance of this course is to educate a researcher for working on nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Course Duration
The Master’s Degree is normally four semesters that can be increased by one semester in the special cases approved by the faculty’s higher education council. The system for this degree is education and research oriented. The student completes the course until the due date by passing some theoretical courses and choosing a supervisor and a thesis.
Delivery Mode
The MSC package is categorized in 3 types of off-shore, on-shore and mixed type.
- On-shore type: the program is organized in the host university. So students study in their own country. The Block course module is selected for this mode.
- Off-shore program: the students need to study in Iran. The type of delivery is in accordance with the regulations of the curriculum of Master program in Iran.
- Mixed type: a combination of running the courses between Iran and host country. The certificate is issued according to the agreement.
The certificate will be issued according to the agreement in three types of joint degree, service provider and the host university degree.
On-shore program advantages
Education in nanotechnology, especially in the developed countries, can be costly. Students have to travel long distances, reside in a foreign land and pay expensive tuitions for at least a few years to obtain their desired degrees, and in the end, many students may immigrate abroad and their home country may never benefit from their education.
NTEG proposes a different strategy; with a fraction of the cost students can be taught in the comfort of their home land, their scientific publications and patents will be accredited to their home country, and they will receive their degrees from their home university. More importantly, students get a chance to work on projects that are relevant to the needs and challenges of their own country. In this package, undergraduate students from relevant educational backgrounds such as materials science, physics, biology, and chemistry are eligible to participate in the program.
NTEG is prepared to provide a complete educational package including the carefully designed syllabus, required course materials and reference texts, as well as informed instructors among prominent Iranian scientists and engineers in nanotechnology. The instructors will travel to the host country and present series of lectures on each subject followed by final examination. Note that the proposed program is designed to serve 15 students at a time.
The list below shows the other advantages of education in the host university:
- Capacity building in local academic human resources
- Research projects can be directed towards local needs and priorities
- Scientific publications and granted patents will be accredited to the host country
- Boosts networking of academics
