27 Master's degrees in Chemistry in Netherlands

The Master’s in Drug Innovation programme at Utrecht University focuses on diagnostics and the improvement and management of small molecule and biomolecular drugs. 

How is chemistry essential to the energy, resource and material transition? How do you translate your ideas and creativity to sustainable, safe and circular processes? Are you eager to learn how chemistry can contribute to a more sustainable future?  Then the Sustainable and Circular Chemistry programme from Utrecht University is for you.

Study all stages of drug development (discovery, design, development, targeted delivery), including the phases of drug activity relating to a drug’s formulation, analysis of its toxicity, and understanding of its pharmacokinetics and -dynamics with this Medicinal Chemistry course offered at Radboud University.

In the Analytical Sciences (Chemistry) programme of the University of Amsterdam, you will focus purely on aspects of analytical chemistry, such as modern analytical techniques, general concepts and strategies for analysis and various application fields.

The Science for Energy and Sustainability (Chemistry) programme from the University of Amsterdam is an two-year interdisciplinary track within the Master's programmes Chemistry and Physics and Astronomy. It combines ‘hard’ scientific research with the analysis of societal issues, business models and government regulations.

Molecular Chemistry is a creative science, which involves the synthesis of molecules with new biological or physical properties in order to meet scientific or societal challenges. The possibilities are endless!

The Chemistry of Life (Chemistry) programme at University of Amsterdam will focus on aspects of chemistry related to living systems, such as the role of enzymes in organic chemistry, biomolecular simulations, and biotechnological approaches in industry.

The Chemistry programme of the University of Amsterdam is a joint degree with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and provides you with a highly qualified background of theory and practice in chemistry and sufficient specialisation in a specific field.

This Physical Chemistry programme from Radboud University aims at unravelling the properties of molecules and materials in great detail, by developing theory and physical instrumentation for advanced spectroscopic experiments.

In this specialisation, you will focus on complex molecular systems in a biological context. You will learn how cells work from a chemist’s perspective and become an expert in the chemistry of all biologically relevant molecules.

Are you interested in fundamental chemistry and applied research and looking for a programme with ample opportunities to assemble your own study path? Then our Chemistry programme is the right choice for you. The MSc Chemistry programme is highly flexible: you can tailor your programme to your ambitions and interests within the research areas Chemistry for Health or Chemistry for Sustainability.

The Molecular Sciences (Chemistry) programme of the University of Amsterdam, a joint degree programme with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, covers areas in chemistry that traditionally are associated with organic and inorganic chemistry, catalysis, physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry.

The Chemistry and Science Communication and Society master's specialisation focuses on the interaction between science and society. Increasingly, the general public wants to be and needs to be informed about scientific topics. At the same time, scientists need to show accountability to the general public about their research.

In this specialisation you combine high quality research in chemistry with training in management and entrepreneurship. Business Studies bridges science and business by focusing on areas such as technology management, innovation, entrepreneurship, operations and decision-making. In this master's specialisation you combine chemistry research with Science Based Business.

The Chemistry MSc programme is a joint degree programme of the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Courses are taught at locations of both universities. As a Chemistry student in Amsterdam you benefit from expertise, networks and research projects at both universities and affiliated research institutes!

Safe and clean water is becoming increasingly scarce, and conflict over water is growing. As a student of the Hydrology - Water and Chemistry programme offered at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will dive into global water challenges and find sustainable solutions. You will learn to understand the hydrological cycle and its impact on society.

Study how drugs act on molecular targets and how chemicals can cause cellular stress or damage. Gain hands-on experience with techniques such as cell culture, imaging and PCR to investigate drug action, safety and toxicity.

The Chemistry (Joint Degree UvA-VU) - Chemistry of Life course from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is a challenging programme for students with a solid Chemistry background who are eager to expand their knowledge and skills.

This selective 2-year Chemistry programme at University of Groningen is taught wholly in English and embedded in an internationally leading research environment.

In this specialisation you focus on either Chemical Biology or Energy & Sustainability. You will obtain skills and knowledge to become an independent and creative scientist. The Research in Chemistry master's specialisation has a fundamental approach to finding tailor-made solutions for human health and environmental problems.
