Description
This 60-credit Master’s specialises in the fields of Life Chemistry on the one hand (in particular Biological and Medicinal Chemistry) and Materials Chemistry on the other, where the focus is on surfaces and nanomaterials.
It is taught in English and provides basic initial training in Biological Chemistry and the Chemistry of surfaces and micro- and nanomaterials, as well as in theoretical Chemistry.
Teaching methods
The Master’s is spread over two semesters:
- During the first semester, the student follows in-depth teaching units and takes part in introductory research activities in various departmental laboratories.
- In the second semester, the student selects advanced teaching units from one of the department’s two research areas. Under the guidance of a supervisor, the student carries out a research project leading to the presentation of a thesis in front of a jury during the evaluation period in May/June.
The training comprises several in-depth teaching units based on the department’s two research fields, introductory research activities in our laboratories, and a research project culminating in the presentation of a short thesis.
Aims and objectives
By the end of the programme, the student will have learned to:
-
develop expertise in the two important branches of contemporary Chemistry:
- Life Chemistry, that is the chemical aspects of Biology and Pharmacology;
- New Materials Chemistry, with its emphasis on surfaces, materials, and nanomaterials;
- master the experimental dimension – an essential skill for the job market – alongside rigorous training in theoretical Chemistry and numerical modelling;
- tackle other disciplines – notably Physics and Biology – useful for research and multidisciplinary applications.
Assessment
The training is evaluated using various means, such as written or oral exams, individual or group reports, the oral presentation of scientific results to a jury, poster sessions and internships.
Details of the exact means of evaluation may be found in the fact sheets for each teaching unit.
