Curriculum of Physical Chemistry

During your first and major internship, you’ll work in a mixed group of top level scientists in a specialisation-related research field. The internship entails practical work, your master thesis, and a presentation. Have a look at possible internship departments:

You can do your second internship or broadening programme – which consists of courses and/or an internship – externally. We encourage you to explore your future career opportunities: specialise in a specific theme at another university, go abroad or propose your own research question to a company or governmental organisation. We have multiple collaborations with companies ranging from multinationals (AkzoNobel, DSM, Shell, Teijin) to start-ups (NovioTech, Future Chemistry, Spinnovation). They work on a wealth of topics, such as the analysis of biofuels, understanding structure-function relations in performance plastics, the development of anti-caking agents for rock-salts and the characterisation of hydrogels for drug-delivery or wound-healing. 

Interested in going abroad? Have a look at the list of collaboration partners or contact one of our researchers, they can easily connect you to top groups elsewhere in the world. It is for example possible to do your internship in Berlin, at Cambridge, or at Harvard. Moreover, you can apply for a grant to perform an internship at the Max Planck Gesellschaft, one of the world's most renowned research institutes.
