Overview

More about this course

An excellent knowledge of the current state-of-the-art in chemistry can only be obtained by working in a competitive context of excellence. An indication that the PhD programme in Molecular Sciences (Corso di Dottorato in Scienze Molecolari – CDSM ) at the University of Padua is able to provide such a research setting is the result of the latest VQR-analysis, which ranks the area of chemistry 3rd overall in Italy. In terms of research excellence chemistry ranks 1st among the large universities. Further signs of the excellent research level offered by CDSM are the presence of 4 ERC-grantees in the Academic Board, the involvement of several members in Marie Curie Innovative Training Networks and various European COST actions.

CDSM is organized in 2 curricula: Chemical Sciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
