Program details
Overview
Run part-time in the evenings over five semesters (90 ECTS, MQF Level 7) with a research-based structure, the Master of Science in Chemistry develops a deep, specialised grasp of one area of chemistry together with the independent capacity to plan, run and interpret experiments and judge how significant the results obtained really are. Students also build the capacity to adapt established research methods to unfamiliar problems and develop a critical awareness of current advances at the forefront of their chosen specialism, forming a skills base that carries through into professional work or further study.
Graduates gain the academic background needed for a chemistry career in industrial or teaching environments, meeting the requirements for postgraduate study in chemistry and in related fields at doctoral level.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UM applies course-specific entry requirements under its regulations and bye-laws. Local applicants are assessed on qualifications such as the Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate, or European Baccalaureate; international applicants hold overseas qualifications evaluated individually for comparability with UM's standards, with no extra requirements beyond the course's own criteria. MATSEC-qualification applicants must apply as soon as they receive their first result slip after the May/June session; students sitting September resits should apply by the course's first deadline rather than waiting on resit results. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar issues a decision letter. Admission may also be granted via Recognition and Accreditation of Prior Learning (RPL) for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
