General description
Chemistry is everywhere in today’s world. Mastering chemistry is crucial for the design of a wide range of everyday products and novel, environmentally friendly materials, products and processes. Design of materials with tailor-made properties requires an enhanced understanding of their synthesis, physico-chemical characteristics, characterization and structure-property relationships at both molecular and nano level. Engineers with this background are required to collaborate with those involved in the production of final products and those designing the requisite processes.
This MSc Program provides a broad background in the design of advanced materials at both theoretical and experimental level. This is accomplished via courses covering the chemistry, synthesis, physical chemistry and production of such materials. Extensive collaboration with Danish and other companies is possible either as part of the courses, as a specific project or during the MSc thesis.
There is a possibility of specialization in one of three areas of high technological and scientific interest: polymer engineering, catalysis and nanotechnology, and synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Alternatively, you can design your own study plan with emphasis e.g. on analytical chemistry, materials or environmental chemistry.
