M2 Nanosciences
This M2 is not offered next year
From the beginning of the academic year 2021-22, the M2 Nanosciences and the M2 LOM merge to become the M2 QLMN : Quantum, Light, Materials and Nano Sciences.
The M2 QLMN offers a specialization through three tracks:
- Light and Matter
- Condensed matter and its interfaces
- Nanodevices and Technologies
The themes of the M2 nanosciences will be mainly taken up by the tracks"Condensed matter and its interfaces" and "Nanodevices and Technologies"
The objective of this program is to offer top-level training in nanoscience. It relies on the skills available in Paris-Saclay's laboratories as well as on existing technological platforms. It is an ambitious program that helps students structure their way of working, with three possible options:
• Nanophysics,
• Nanodevices and Nanotechnologies
• International track in nanoscience (in English)
with different approaches based on fundamental physics, applied physics, information science and technologies and Nano bioscience.
Graduates can seek a career in areas that are strongly related to nanoscience and emerging technologies:
• academic staff,
• research and development engineer in optics, nanoelectronics, matter, biosciences, biotechnologies, health...
After PhD graduation, doctors can continue as post-doc in an academic lab (45%) or valve their experience as engineer of research for in companies or organizations as ONERA (40%). About 14% get a permanent academic position.
Understand and use specialised nanosciences knowledge with the requisite scientific rigour.
This specialisation is oriented towards professions that are highly associated with the field of nanosciences and technologies:
* researcher and university lecturer,
* research and development engineer in the field of optics, nanoelectronics, materials, biosciences, biotechnologies, health, etc.
Students trained in this programme will be able to continue their studies to prepare for a doctoral programme in an academic or industrial research laboratory, for instance under a CIFRE contract.
1st year of Master 1 in Physics or Electronics Good knowledge of electromagnetism and condensed matter physics (quantum mechanics, statistical physics)
Most graduates (79 %) go on to do a thesis, either in an academic or in an industrial research laboratory, for instance under a CIFRE contract. Slightly over half of such theses are carried out in Paris-Saclay laboratories. 12 % are done abroad. Other former students prefer to join a company directly as engineers (12 %). 5 % opt for further studies, other than a thesis, changing to a different topic.
79 % of the graduates choose to continue as PhD students. Among those, 54 % work in a lab in the Paris-Saclay area, 13 % elsewhere in the Paris region, 21 % in other French regions, and 12 % abroad. Funding is distributed among contracts attributed by doctoral schools, research contracts obtained by the host teams or the mixed Finance and Industry ministry (CIFRE thesis). 12 % of the graduates are hired as engineers directly after the M2. Others pursue further studies, other than a thesis.
