MSc in Chemistry 

Introduction to MSc in Chemistry

As a Master's degree student in Chemistry at SDU, you will get the opportunity to work in some of the best laboratories, and you will have great career opportunities once you graduate. You will become part of the research in chemical compounds for new pharmaceutical products and modified DNA, which will help us target infected cells in the body.

The key disciplines in the master's programme in Chemistry are spectroscopy, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry and theoretical chemistry.

In the second semester of the study, you have the opportunity to study for half a year at a foreign university or do a project in a Danish or foreign business company.

During the thesis, which you write in the second year of the master's programme, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of new knowledge.

As a starting point, one or more of the department's researchers will guide you during the thesis. But you also have the opportunity to do the thesis in collaboration with researchers from outside of the University.

Students in Denmark spend much time together, as social togetherness and a sense of community are important elements of Danish culture. International students find themselves quickly integrated and appreciate the easiness to make new connections and get along with fellow students.

Our students here spend time after classes together: working together, forming study groups and solving assignments together. There is a high motivation to help each other. The classes have been described as having a respectful atmosphere in which students feel comfortable to speak up and contribute.

International students play a crucial role in enriching the university experience for every student, by bringing different views, cultures and perspectives. That is why we do our utmost to support our international students before and after their arrival.
