Programme of Science Management and Innovation

Please note that this master's programme is no longer available for new students. New master's students can start the new programme of Molecular Sciences.

Students in the master Chemistry should graduate August 31 2023 at the latest. Make sure to consult your student advisor.

Of this two-year programme, the content of the specialisation year in Science, Management and Innovation (SMI) is described in a separate prospectus. The Chemistry specific part is outlined here and consists of the following components totaling 60 EC to be done in the first year:

A. A minimum of 15 EC scientific Master courses, to be approved by the Examination Board. Master courses at the Faculty of Science are automatically approved, with the exception of courses offered within the societal specialisations (SMI and SIS);
B. A research project of minimally 29 EC (NWI-MOL501A), including practical work, report, presentation, and optional specialisation courses relevant to the internship (max. 6 EC);
This research project can be done on any research department available to Chemistry students.

C. NWI-MOL412 Career orientation (1 EC)
D. free electives (3 EC)
E. Philosophy course (3 EC.)

E. 9 EC Electives, either courses (A), a longer research project (B), or a literature thesis (NWI-MOL601, 6 EC), or a combination of the above.

The second year comprises a 60 EC programme from Science, Management and Innovation. In this programme there is also a 3 EC free elective component. Both free elective components can be combined to follow a 6 EC course.
