Kalmar

In Kalmar, Linnaeus University is located in the city center. Universitetskajen is entirely newly-built and located just next to the sea. Here you become part of a creative knowledge environment.

The city center is also where most students live. Everything is available within a ten-minute bicycle ride, regardless of whether you want to take a swim in the sea, study, do some shopping, or work out. Historical buildings and cobblestone streets give charm to the city. When it is sunny, the area next to Kalmar Castle’s moat is filled with studying and sunbathing students. Student life is a natural part of Kalmar. This is where your dream of the future begins!

The master of chemistry degree from Linnaeus University prepares you to meet society's and academia's needs for competence in chemistry. Our past students now work in chemistry-related positions either in academic research studies, e.g. Ph.D. studies, or in industry.

The degree program commences with a 10-week introductory course on research methodology, which is followed by four or five ten-week blocks where you have the choice of studying subjects such as bioanalytical chemistry and food analysis, biophysical chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biotechnology, environmental chemistry, and nanoscience. The degree program is completed with either a 30 or 20-week research project run within one of the research groups in Kalmar.

A Master´s Degree in Chemistry paves the way for a career in research or industry. We provide individually tailored degree programs that include extensive experience working in research laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment. Many previous graduates have been successful in competing for Ph.D. studentships at universities around the globe, and others have entered into successful careers in the industry.
