You will receive broad knowledge in physical and computational chemistry and chemical physics. You will develop your laboratory skills and learn about fundamental, molecular mechanisms as well as practical applications within the environmental field, materials science and catalysis, for example.
As a student you will obtain knowledge within thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy and surface and colloid chemistry. Special emphasis is placed on creating coherent understanding that stretches from a quantum mechanical description of atoms and molecules to complex supramolecular structures and their industrial and biological applications.
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.
