The nanosciences program in Basel: A challenging course in a familiar environment The nanosciences program at the University of Basel boasts a high degree of interdisciplinarity as well as excellent supervision and a strong team spirit amongst students. Across Switzerland, Basel is the only university to offer a bachelor’s and master’s degree program in nanosciences. As part of the bache- lor’s program, students receive a broad grounding in biology, chemis- try, physics and mathematics as well as an insight into the scientific work of various research groups and industrial companies. Students on the master’s program choose two subjects from the available spe- cializations — chemistry, medical nanosciences, molecular biology and physics — in which they then complete two projects and a mas- ter’s thesis. At the end of 2022, there were 59 students enrolled on the bache- lor’s program and 25 on the master’s program. Four students suc- cessfully completed the bachelor’s program, and eight completed their studies with a master’s degree. 12 SNI Annual Report 2022
