About the Program
The Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry MSc is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree offered by a consortium of five universities (Bologna, Helsinki, Krakow, Leipzig, Lille). The programme focuses on applying spectroscopic techniques to analyze chemicals and characterize the structures of materials, with emphasis on materials from molecular synthesis, biology, nanotechnology, modelling, pharmacology, green chemistry, materials and sustainable energy. It is a research-oriented programme taught in English that includes mandatory mobility between the partner universities. The 2-year programme prepares students to become experts and develop international skills towards doctoral studies and/or professional industrial careers in chemical analysis. All students commence their studies in Lille. The programme structure includes a compulsory area (30 credits), a compulsory elective area (60 credits), and a master's thesis (30 credits). Graduates can work in the industrial sector (chemistry, physics, optics, medical technology), research institutions, universities, and as application chemists at spectrometer companies. The ASC network includes 17 associated industrial/research partners for increased opportunities towards international careers in modern fields of chemistry. A winter school is organized each year between semesters to ensure all students can attend.
