Do you want to research a substance that deals with the structure and reactions of molecules? As a doctoral student in chemistry, you get the opportunity to develop knowledge that is central to understanding the composition, structure, and properties of substances.
Chemistry is a basic natural science, which means that research and postgraduate education are governed by interdisciplinary arguments and criteria. After your doctoral degree, you are well prepared for the challenges and methods that the subject of chemistry faces as industrial and societal needs play a role in the design of projects and research problems. The graduate school also has several different specializations that you can choose from. Read more in the study plan.
The graduate school is organised within the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
