As a Molecular Sciences student in Nijmegen, you will dive into all aspects of the synthesis and functioning of molecules; from solid state molecular chemistry to spectroscopy and to the chemical biology that lies at the basis of health and disease. This Master’s programme combines theoretical courses with extensive research internships in a multidisciplinary environment.

Possible specialisations:

• Chemistry of Life: In this specialisation, you will use chemistry to understand life at the molecular level. You will focus on complex molecular systems in a biological context.
• Molecular Chemistry: A thorough programme in the heart of chemistry, covering all stages from molecule design to application. Dive into this creative science, where you synthesize molecules with new biological or physical properties to address scientific or societal challenges.
• Physical Chemistry: Most chemical research involves synthesis and characterisation of new molecules. Basically, a trial and error approach. This specialisation goes one step further: it aims at fundamentally unravelling the properties of molecules and materials.
• Science in Society: Science and technology have a profound influence on society, but the reverse is also true: society significantly shapes the ways in which science and technology evolve. This specialisation equips you with the tools to become a professional intermediary between science and society.
• Science, Management and Innovation: All organisations struggle with challenges such as sustainability, health, energy, and IT security. Solutions require scientists with an analytical as well as a societal understanding of these issues.
• Science and Education (in Dutch): Do you have a passion for Molecular Sciences and an interest in didactics? Do you like presenting and sharing knowledge? Want to work on your personal leadership skills? Science and Education offers scientific ánd didactic education, enabling you to teach in secondary school right after graduation.
