Master’s in
Chemistry (Analytical and Environmental Chemistry) at
Ghent University
Analytical and Environmental Chemistry focuses on chemical analysis. You learn to identify elements, molecules and chemical/physical structures in complex materials and objects, from paintings and archaeological artefacts to meteorites and environmental samples. We offer this main subject in collaboration with Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The emphasis is specifically on geo- and cosmochemistry, and environmental analysis. An important aspect is the identification and acceptance of environmental and climate challenges. Our programme prepares you for a career as a chemist in the increasingly diverse analysis labs, whose social and industrial strategic importance never stops growing in today’s high-tech society.
For whom
The admission requirements vary. Depending on your preliminary training, you are either able to enrol directly, or there are additional requirements.
Structure
Half of the curriculum consists of project-based education. Already in the first-year curriculum, you will take a start with your Master’s dissertation. You end the Master’s programme with a full-term work placement, which you can complete at a company or a foreign research laboratory.
In addition to the (domain) Master’s programme described above, you can also choose a Master’s Programme in Teaching (in Dutch: Educatieve Master). However, this is a fully Dutch-taught programme. More information can be found on www.ugent.be/educatievemaster.
