Course Content

The Master 2 course depends on an individual project on a current topic of research in chemistry, the application of the research plan proposed in the Master 1 course being central. The course aims to independently address the scientific problem through advanced scientific research in the field of chemistry. The results of this research and decision-making are recorded in a scientific report and presented and defended in front of a scientific panel. The scientific panel is composed of 5 members; The jury members are two fixed members who evaluate all reports (each with 12.5 % of the weight in the total score), the promotor (50 % weight in the total score) and two (external) specialist jury members (each with 12.5 % of the weight in the total score).
