Description

Chemistry is a fundamental part of our everyday lives. It is all around us in the reactions, properties and combinations of matter in our own bodies and in the world. Chemical research is instrumental in developing new materials and pharmaceutics. In this programme, you will become part of the research in chemical compounds for new pharmaceutical products and modified DNA, which will help us target infected cells in the body. When it comes to the environmental profile, chemists play an important role as experts and advisors. 

Career Opportunities  

As a chemist, you can find employment in a number of fields within the industry. In research and development, you have the opportunity as an organic or inorganic chemist to join the production of new molecules with pharmaco-chemical potential.   As an environmental chemist, you can help investigate where pollution originates and as a specialist in material chemistry, you can help develop new materials for fuel cells.
If you want to work in research, a Masters from the University of Southern Denmark is an advantageous foundation to a PhD.
