How is Medicinal Chemistry structured?

The master’s programme in Medicinal Chemistry takes two years to complete, and each academic year is divided into two semesters. There are opportunities for abroad stays and industry collaboration during the course of study

You can see a description of each course by clicking on it in the semester overview below. On small screens it works best in landscape mode.

Choices and options

Already in the first year of the MSc programme in Medicinal Chemistry, you have the opportunity to shape your academic direction through elective courses and constituent elective modules. This includes the possibility of engaging in close collaboration with a business or organisation in a company project.

In the second year of the programme, you will work on your thesis project. Here, you can immerse yourself in a topic you are particularly interested in – whether through interdisciplinary work, in-depth research, or collaboration with a company where you contribute to solving specific challenges.
