Chemical Sciences

Master of Science 

Standard Period of Study: 4 semesters
Teaching Language: English

The curriculum includes a homogenization phase during the first two semesters, covering the core areas of chemistry through lectures, laboratory practicals, and seminars. Additionally, students will explore one further area of the faculty, choosing from biochemistry, polymer chemistry, technical chemistry, or theoretical chemistry.

In the second and third semesters, students enter the specialization phase, focusing on our four research profiles:

  • Sustainable Synthesis and Catalysis
  • Smart Materials and Functional Molecules
  • Biological Chemistry and Biotechnology
  • Theory and Simulation in Chemistry and Materials Sciences

During this phase, students also complete two research internships, allowing them to engage with cutting-edge research topics. The Master's thesis is written in the fourth semester.
