Chemistry
Master
Are you interested in fundamental chemistry and applied research and looking for a programme with ample opportunities to assemble your own study path? Then our Chemistry programme is the right choice for you. The MSc Chemistry programme is highly flexible: you can tailor your programme to your ambitions and interests within the research areas Chemistry for Health or Chemistry for Sustainability. During your studies, you will be part of a multidisciplinary research team of internationally renowned researchers in which you will carry out your MSc research project. Join our world-class electrochemistry group to contribute to sustainable energy, or our leading interdisciplinary research teams in chemical biology, using chemical tools to study disease-related problems.
Our programme combines a solid theoretical basis with getting hands-on in practice. You can also choose a specialisation in which you combine one year of specialised Chemistry schooling with one year of multidisciplinairy training in the field of High-Tech Innovation, or specialised training in business studies, communication or education.
The MSc Chemistry is open for students with a BSc degree in Molecular Science & Technology, an internationally recognised BSc degree in chemistry, or a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in chemistry.
