This research-focused Master’s programme trains you to design and study functional molecules and materials that address global challenges. You will explore how innovative, sustainably produced compounds and materials can be tailored for specific tasks — for example, improving catalysts to make chemical processes more selective, energy-efficient and effective. The emphasis is on translating molecular and materials chemistry into tangible benefits for healthcare, resource use and environmental sustainability.
Applications include biomedicine, energy conversion and the chemical industry: students learn about molecular systems and material properties that enable better diagnostics, therapies, energy technologies and industrial processes. Practical laboratory and research training prepare you to contribute to advances such as more efficient catalysts, improved material functionality and greener production methods.
Taught in English, the programme prepares graduates for research careers and professional roles across academia, environmental technology, and the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. For full details on curriculum, modules and application procedures, consult the programme’s official webpage.
