Dive deeper into the world of chemistry

Expand your knowledge and skills in chemistry

Want to learn how to use inexpensive organic materials to capture CO2? Discover whether carbon can form a fifth bond? Or develop new analytical methods to detect low levels of bioactive proteins in complex biological samples?

The Chemistry Master’s is a challenging programme for students with a solid Chemistry background who are eager to expand their knowledge and skills.

Chemistry is not an isolated discipline. It is a bridge between the two ends of the science spectrum: it connects biology (biomolecular chemistry) with physics, mathematics and computer sciences (physical-theoretical chemistry).

Chemistry in Amsterdam is a joint degree from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. UvA and VU jointly issue a degree certificate to graduates. As a student, you benefit from the expertise, networks and research projects at both universities and affiliated research institutes.
