Exact Sciences - Chemistry of Materials for Sustainable Development

AtMaster's Degree program in Exact Sciences - Chemistry of Materials for Sustainable Development from University of Turku, the research in materials chemistry consists of fundamental research of material properties as well as that of interfaces, surfaces, and nanostructures from a chemical point of view. Applied research focuses on functionalized organic electronics, luminescent materials, and porous carriers as well as nanotechnology, detection technology, energy storage, and conversion.

Upon graduation, you will be able to use the diverse set of skills acquired as part of this track, including experimental, theoretical, and numerical techniques to produce and analyze new chemical projects.

Job options

The prospects for employment at relatively senior levels are excellent for those trained in the physical and chemical sciences. Thanks to the broad scope of the program, the skills, and knowledge developed as part of this education at the University of Turku provide many employment opportunities in different areas.

As a materials chemist, you can either go on for further studies for a career in academics or be hired by the industry in a wide range of specialisation, from Biofuel production, metal industry, nanotechnology, energy conversion, displays, drug detection, and delivery, etc.

Courses include:

• Experimental Techniques for MaterialsCharacterization

• FunctionalMaterials

• Solid State Chemistry and PhotonicMaterials

• X-Ray Methods for Materials Characterization

• Syntheses in Materials Chemistry
