Master of Science [M.S] [Molecular Chemistry] From Radboud University

Working with chemical structures the possibilities are endless: in principle, every molecule can be made. The challenge is to adapt the 3D-structure to the desired properties and design an efficient synthesis method.

The specialisation in ?at ?is closely connected to the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), which hosts world-class research groups and a state-of-the-art research infrastructure. In your internships, you can conduct independent research at IMM, under personal guidance of a researcher. Not seldom this leads to a scientific publication with you as a co-author.

With this practical experience and your in-depth knowledge of the design, synthesis and characterization of molecular structures, you?ll make an excellent researcher. Almost half of our students take up a PhD position after graduating. However, you can also choose to apply your chemistry knowledge in the chemical industry, a spin-off company or a governmental organisation.

Career prospects

Approximately 40% of our graduates take up a PhD position, either in Nijmegen or elsewhere in the world. Our research institutes, in particular the Institute for Molecules and Materials, have vacancies for PhD projects every year.?

The Molecular Chemistry graduates also find work as researchers, marketeers and managers in the chemical industry, or in one of our spin-off companies. A small proportion will not work in science, but for instance as a policymaker at a governmental organisation such as NWO or STW.
