Master of Science in Chemistry (Analytical and Environmental Chemistry)
We owe a great part of our quality of life to the development of sciences, and chemistry in particular. Its influence spans numerous different branches, such as medicine, biology, agriculture, etc. The impact of chemistry is also omnipresent in the industrial world. Almost every branch of industry is confronted with chemistry at some level: in the production process, in quality control, in product improvement, waste processing …
Our students choose one of three main subjects: Analytical and Environmental Chemistry, (Bio)Organic and Polymer Chemistry, Materials and Nanochemistry.
