Introduction
As a chemist you juggle with matter. You dissect, analyse and build. Our Chemistry Master’s programme, which provides you with an exceptional tool box for your future, is closely associated with the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM). At this research institute physicists and chemists work together to explore the properties of molecules and materials. This cooperation between the most chemical of chemists and the most physical of physicists in one research institute is unique in the world. It is the secret of IMM’s success and its many scientific breakthroughs.

Programme
The programme is structured as follows:

	Major research project including Master’s thesis, presentation and literature thesis (60EC)
	Basic and advanced courses related to the major (27 EC)
	Philosophy (3 EC)
	Minor: this can be an internship within another research institute in Nijmegen or anywhere in the world, or an internship in the commercial sector (24 EC)
	Elective courses (6 EC) which offer you a unique specialization

Unique equipment
Our Faculty of Science has unique facilities and equipment for investigating the properties of materials and molecules. The High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML) attracts scientists from all over the world to Nijmegen. In addition, we have the NanoLab, the NMR Lab and the Laser Lab. Our newest acquisition is a Free Electron Laser which we have been able to build thanks to funding of 23 million euros from the Dutch government. Also, this Nijmegen Centre for Advanced Spectrometry draws top international researchers to Nijmegen.

Admission requirements
Admission requirements for international students
1. A completed Bachelor's degree in Chemistry or related area
In general, you are admitted with the equivalent of a Dutch Bachelor's degree in Chemistry with relevant subjects. If you do not have all the right subjects, you might be able to catch up in a taylor-made transition programme, depending on your prior education.
2. A proficiency in English

The language requirements for Master's programme in Chemistry differ from the general language requirements!
In order to take part in the programme, you need to have a sufficient level of English. This requirement has been satisfied when the student provides us with one of these documents:

	TOEFL score of >550 (paper based) or >213 (computer based) or >80 (internet based)
