A substantial part of your master’s programme will be dedicated to your research project, and at some stage during your MSc you’ll need to decide on a topic that genuinely interests you. To help you explore your options, the Education Office organises the annual Research@LIC (Re@LIC) poster market.
An important part of the student’s master’s programme Chemistry or LST is the component of research training. Depending on your specialisation, between 30 - 60 EC is required. Students can choose to extend the research training component with an additional 1 - 20 EC of elective space.
All major and minor research projects are concluded with a written thesis describing the research.
All major research training projects are concluded with a Thesis Talk. This is a presentation of original research work to a group of non-experts. All students are required to attend at least 7 Thesis Talks from their fellow students before their own Thesis Talk (10 Thesis Talks for students not following WORK).
Some external research projects require prior approval from the Board of Examiners. A decision can take up to a month to obtain, so students are encouraged to apply on time.
