Advanced and Applied Chemistry

The emphasis of the programme is on the development and design of advanced chemical products and materials.

You will learn to design specialised materials through your knowledge of chemistry. This could be environmentally-friendly industrial materials or pharmaceutical products.

There are three study lines to choose from:

• Polymer Engineering, which is the study of how polymers can be designed and used in areas such as medicine, bio- and nanotechnology.
• Catalysis and Nanotechnology, where you study the synthesis and use of catalysts in areas like environmental processes, energy production, chemistry and biochemistry.
• Pharmaceutical Technology, where the focus is on advanced analytical, organic and medicinal chemistry

Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

For the final 6 months, you will be writing your MSc thesis. The thesis is a scientific research project, often carried out in collaboration with one of university's industrial partners.

Graduation from the master degree programme confers the title Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering (Advanced and Applied Chemistry).

To be admitted to an MSc programme, you must have a bachelor degree in a relevant subject.

In addition, documentation may be required verifying your proficiency in English is at a specified level.

Contact the educational institution to which you wish to apply for detailed information on entry requirements and required English proficiency levels.

To find out whether the level of your foreign certificate satifies the general entry requirements, see the Danish Agency for International Education.

The application deadline for MSc programmes varies according to the educational institution. Contact the individual institution for further information regarding its application deadline and forms. Apply directly at the university.

Exchange students should contact their home institution for information on application procedures and deadlines.

Tuition

There is a tuition fee for all full-degree students, unless you are a student from an EU/EEA country, or from Switzerland.

Students within an exchange programme are not required to pay tuition.
