Program Overview

Program Description:

Organic and molecular electronics are an innovative class of electronics with huge market potential in four key application areas: displays; photovoltaics; lighting; and integrated smart systems. While the technology is novel it is also able to be harnessed in many current applications, providing reduced cost and low energy manufacturing processes. The field is evolving at a rapid pace, opening many exciting application possibilities and developments. It is predicted that over the course of the next decade the market will have an annual value of several hundred billion Euros. The Master’s in Organic and Molecular Electronics Program strives to educate young professionals in this cutting edge field. It offers an interdisciplinary study program comprising physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and materials science. The close collaboration with industry partners enables a highly practice-oriented education.
