A bachelor’s degree of at least 180 credits or the equivalent, including at least 90 credits in chemistry, of which at least 7.5 credits must be in general chemistry, 15 credits in physical chemistry, 15 credits in inorganic chemistry, 22.5 credits in organic chemistry, 15 credits in analytical chemistry. In addition to courses in chemistry, 15 credits in mathematics are required. English course 6/English level 2 (advanced proficiency).
The Master’s programme provides both theoretical and practical knowledge in analytical, organic, organometallic and coordination chemistry. Some of the areas covered include drug production, food, environmental issues and nanotechnology.
You will obtain specialised knowledge in advanced organic synthesis, learn about reaction mechanisms in organic and organometallic compounds and the importance of metals in biological systems. You will obtain ample experience in different chromatography and mass spectrometry methods as well as in modern characterisation methods. The importance of green analytical chemistry for a sustainable society is also emphasised.
You will learn to independently plan, conduct, and critically evaluate experiments. You will also learn to use scientific literature as well as manage and analyse data in various forms.
All of the teaching staff are researchers. Our department is characterised by a broad spectrum of basic research and applied research, as well as close contact with industry and external research centres.
Lund is also home to two world-unique research facilities. The MAX IV Laboratory is the world’s first fourth-generation synchrotron light source, and ESS (European Spallation Source) will be the world’s most powerful neutron source.
