M.Sc. Molecular Science

A certificate of English level B2 (as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference), e.g. TOEFL or IELTS, is required to study in our international Master’s degree programs, Chemistry or Molecular Science. In case the qualifying Bachelor’s program is fully taught in English, a confirmation on the teaching language for the Bachelor’s degree by the respective university can substitute the level B2

The successful completion of a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject is required for admission to both Master’s degree programs, Chemistry and Molecular Science. Since these programs build upon the basic concepts generally learned in a Bachelor’s program, the required first degree must be closely related. Most successful applicants hold a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry or something similar.

MSc Molecular Science degree program consists of

Molecular Science Specialization module (40 ECTS): choose either Molecular Life Science or Molecular Nanoscience

each module includes 30 ECTS course work and 10 ECTS Lab practicals

Compulsory elective module (20 ECTS): choose one

Quantum Chemistry

Advances in Bio-Organic and Bio-Inorganic Chemistry

Advances in Homogenous Catalysis

Advances in Interface Research and Catalysis

Advances in Energy Materials

Elective modules (3 x 5 ECTS): three modules (each 5 ECTS) specialist or non-specialist have to be chosen, which may include, e.g., language courses, key skills, science courses, or others (list tba online in Campo)

Research module (15 ECTS): 6 weeks full-time lab project in your focus discipline

Master’s thesis (30 ECTS): 6 months research project including writing of the thesis

Together, all modules add up to 120 credit points.
