The Master program in chemistry is suitable for you if you wonder why medicines work as they do and how to tailor molecules for medicines, catalysts in the industry or numerous other applications. Or if you want to learn how nature’s chemistry works, and how environmental problems can be solved. NTNU is the only university in Norway where you can specialise within Environmental and analytical chemistry. You can also study advanced structural chemistry using synchroton radiation.

Course Objectives
The 2-year program in chemistry gives students academic specialisation within topics such as Biochemistry, Environmental and analytical chemistry, Organic chemistry, Structural chemistry or Chemistry education and dissemination. The objective of the program is to educate chemists who are able to work independently with chemistry at a high level.

Through lectures, laboratory work, exercises, project work, excursions, and an independent master’s thesis you will gain knowledge about relevant working methods for research, industry, administration, and education. The Master’s degree program in Chemistry also forms the foundation for doctoral programs in Chemistry.
