Overview

Research in the LIC concentrates on the two research areas of Chemical Biology (CB) and Energy & Sustainability (ES). These two areas guide the courses and research training projects offered in MSc Chemistry from Leiden University.

An attractive feature of the Chemistry master at Leiden University is the great flexibility of the study programme, allowing students to tailor a programme based on their personal interests.

What does this master’s programme entail?

Over the years, MSc Chemistry courses evolve along with LIC's research strategy and are adapted to developments in research areas at the forefront of science. The emphasis of the programme is on motivating and encouraging students to work as young academics and develop to their full potential. The two-year programme consists of 120 EC and offers four specialisations. Students spend 30 – 80 EC on research training projects, depending on their specialisation and use of electives.
