Core courses within the MSc Chemistry programme

> 2024-25 and earlier MSc Chemistry core courses

Students in the Chemistry programme choose four courses out of the courses listed here for their research area (Chemistry for Health or Chemistry for Sustainability). The choices can be limited by their prior education.

Detailed information about the content of each course can be found in the Prospectus (search by name). The schedule for each course can be found at the Schedule section on this website.

  • Courses that were taken in the BSc programmes cannot be taken again in the MSc programme. Instead, one of the other core courses can be taken.
  • Molecular Cell Biology cannot be chosen by students with a BSc degree in Life Science and Technology or equivalent.
  • Students in the education specialisation (EDU) are not limited to one research area, but are advised to choose a combination of courses from both research areas to obtain a broader knowledge of chemistry. 
  • Students are allowed to take more than four courses or courses from the other research area as electives.
