Overview
The Chemistry - Physical Chemistry program from Uppsala University is oriented towards fundamental physical chemistry, but it also includes the physical and chemical foundations needed to take part in the development of new solutions for sustainable production of energy and fuels, e.g., the kinetics and mechanisms of electron transfer reactions in solar cells, photocatalysis, and artificial photosynthesis.
Career
Positions are also possible in areas related to more fundamental chemical questions, being able to contribute to the development of new methods for the investigation of chemical and physical processes and reactions, the knowledge which is needed for the development of new materials and more environmentally friendly production processes.
Possible career paths can vary. You may work with research and development, production processes, analysis of materials, management of safety and legal issues, patenting of inventions, marketing and sales, or environmental and sustainability issues.
