Chemistry Degrees Online

Because an understanding of chemistry is essential to virtually every field of science, technology and medicine, chemists enjoy a very broad range of fascinating career options, including medicine and genetic, pharmaceutical and commercial research. Chemistry majors select one of two concentrations: General Chemistry
What you’ll study – General, organic and physical chemistry; general biology; microbiology; biochemistry; calculus
Career Paths – Medicine,medical and industrial research, education
Biochemistry
What you’ll study – General, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry; calculus
Career Paths – Medicine, pharmaceutical and medical research, education

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is awarded after examination of a thesis. The original contribution to knowledge required of candidates must be consistent with at least three years of supervised research and significant parts of the work should be worthy of publication at international levels.

The Department of Chemistry carries out both basic (or curiosity-driven) research and applied research within the following topics: energy and the environment; materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology; functional genome; antioxidants: pharmacy; catalysis; petrochemicals; inorganic structural chemistry; history of chemistry and chemistry education

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.
