Calling all Chemists! Keen to specialise in the design of organic molecules, theoretical and quantum chemistry, or analytical and environmental chemistry? Combine inter-university research and multidisciplinary teaching in this advanced-level Chemistry master's programme.

What do you learn on the master's programme? 

Choose between two specialisations: 

1. Chemical Theory, (Bio-)Molecular Design and Synthesis: offering a thorough education in the design and synthesis of organic molecules and polymers, in which medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry and structural analysis feature prominently. Also includes advanced courses in theoretical and quantum chemistry.
2. Analytical and Environmental Chemistry: covering a whole range of analytical techniques, including advanced chromatography, elemental and isotope analyses and nutrient and organic pollutant analysis. Examples of studies include natural and disturbed processes in water, sediments and atmosphere. A variety of analytical techniques are used, and new sampling and measuring techniques are designed, tested, refined and optimised.

The strengths of the Chemistry master's programme:

• State-of-the-art inter-university research
• Multidisciplinary teaching
• Dynamic, advanced-level programme
• Academic or industrial internship options in Belgium or abroad

What have you learnt?

The skills acquired will naturally be shaped by your chosen specialisation track: Analytical and Environmental Chemistry and Chemical Theory, (Bio-)Molecular Design and Synthesis. But whichever route you choose, you will acquire both theory and practice.

In the framework of your master's dissertation, you'll be involved in fundamental and applied research and learn how to work out relevant, original, and innovative solutions for contemporary issues in the broadly defined field of chemistry. 

This master's in Chemistry opens many doors for an interesting career in one of the most research-intensive and growing sectors worldwide. Graduates are in great demand in government labs, food safety and research, production of drinking water, waste management, and many other environmental aspects... Opportunities lie in many different branches, ranging from research and production to medical laboratories, hospitals, and sales and management.  The choice is yours!
