¹û¶³´«Ã½

The core program of the MSMC track consists of 4 courses (2 core courses, and 2 compulsory courses which can be chosen from a selection of elective courses) in year 1 and a graduation project and industrial internship in year 2.  All 4 courses have a study load of 5 credits (EC) based on the European Credit Transfer System Courses. An overview of the master elective course to chose as the third and fourth core course for the MSMC track can and recognized by a course code that starts with 6EMA….. This track offers fewer core courses compared to others, providing greater flexibility to tailor your studies through elective courses that allow you to specialize in areas that align with your interests and career goals. 

• 6MSM10 Physical Organic Chemistry (C): Understand the structure and reactivity of organic molecules, with a focus on non-covalent interactions and selfassembly. 
• 6MSM31 Polymer and Colloid Science (C): Explore the interactions and structures of polymers and colloids, the foundation of soft matter materials like gels and biological systems. 

In consultation with your mentor, you will create a personalized elective program that aligns with your track and specialization. You can choose courses within the faculty, covering topics such as sustainable chemical processes, polymers, catalysis, or materials science, or you may take courses at other faculties or universities.

Examples of elective courses within the MSMC track include:

• 6EMA53 Molecular Photophysics (D): Study how molecules interact with light and their excited states, with applications in OLEDs, solar cells, biosensors, and photosynthesis.
• 6EMA64 Molecular Photochemistry (E): Explore light-driven chemical reactions and their role in vision, synthetic chemistry, polymers, and biomedicine.
• 6EMA63 Sustainable Polymer Chemistry and Materials (B): Learn about sustainable polymer production, green chemistry, recycling methods, and circular polymer materials.
• 6EMA59 Experimental Soft Matter (A): Investigate the unique phase behavior and viscoelastic properties of soft materials like gels, foams, and biological tissues.
• 6EMA62 Device Integrated Responsive Materials (D): Discover soft robotics and responsive materials with applications in medicine, engineering, and manufacturing.

Personal Guidance

Under the expert supervision of a professor or assistant/associate professor from a research group, you will develop your study program and career path.

International Experience & Industry Internship

In the second year, you will have the opportunity to gain international experience through an internship or research project. A three-month industry internship is an integral part of the master’s program, allowing you to gain practical experience at a company or research institute. Thanks to strong connections with multinationals and the Brainport region, numerous opportunities are available.

Graduation Project

During an eight-month research project within the faculty, you will work independently on a scientific challenge, often in collaboration with PhD candidates.
