Mas­ter in Sus­tain­able Chem­istry (MSc.)

The Master's degree programme (MSc) is divided into a compulsory and an elective area. In the compulsory section, in-depth chemistry topics are taught. These are applied in the elective area, which is characterised by special aspects of sustainability. A wide range of elective options are offered in the field of energy management, preparative chemistry or materials chemistry. After a research-oriented project programme, the course concludes with a Master's thesis.

 

  • Advanced degree programme in chemistry.
  • Wide range of elective options in the fields of Energy Conversion & Storage, Sustainable Synthesis & Catalysis, Sustainable Materials'
