Overview
Chemistry experts have a key role in resolving global problems. The Chemistry and Molecular Sciences doctoral programme from University of Helsinki in chemistry and molecular sciences (CHEMS) is focused on basic studies in experimental, theoretical and computational chemistry, from small molecules to macromolecules, with research themes involving synthesis, isolation techniques, characterization, analytical methods and spectroscopy.
Courses and studying
A doctoral degree in the programme comprises of a doctoral thesis and 40 credits of additional studies. The studies are divided into discipline-specific studies, aimed to support your research project, and transferable skills training.
Part of the studies are completed flexibly through means other than traditional coursework: conference presentations, essays, scientific and popular articles, editing work etc.
