Here's why you want to study Molecular Sciences in Amsterdam
Research-focused
Encompasses all fundamental areas including organic and inorganic chemistry, catalysis, physical chemistry, and theoretical chemistry.
Custom-designed curriculum
Custom-design the curriculum and select from numerous fundamental and specialised courses offered by internationally recognised experts.
From atoms to molecular design and engineering
Deep-dive into fundamental topics, that allows to rationally design compound with specific properties, understand reaction mechanisms, and observe and understand interaction of light with matter.
In-depth specialisation
In a specific area like Molecular Design, Synthesis, Catalysis, Spectroscopy or Theory and Modelling.
Molecular Sciences will suit you, if you...
- Have a solid background in the core disciplines of chemistry.
- Are interested in using the molecule as the starting point for gaining fundamental insights about materials and chemical, biological and physical processes.
- Want to move from understanding chemical and physical processes, to predicting and controlling them.
- Are eager to apply your knowledge and skills in areas of fundamental importance to society such as energy, sustainability, health and materials sciences.
- Want the benefits of a small-scale programme in which students and staff are in close contact.
