Breve Introdução

MASTER IN MOLECULAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

CHEMISTRY is the core of our master, offering to our students an up-to-date and wide vision on knowledge and tolls focused on MOLECULES. This encompasses the design, synthesis, characterization and application, both as individual entities or as part of a (nano)material in innovative solutions to address societal, environmental and industrial  challenges.


Why choose the MMSE:

• enrolled in a transformative environment
• innovative learning
• supportive community
• curricular plan matching chemist’s future challenges
• adapt your path to your interests


What the MMSE is looking for:

• forward-thinking visionaries
• eagerness to learn
• collaborative and cooperative spirit
• excitement and risk-taking
• curiosity and initiative

The MSc in Molecular Science and Engineering has a strong connection with the research centers of the Department of Chemical Engineering, mainly Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE). Some of the laboratory classes take place in the research labs of CQE, and the students are motivated to engage in the research groups activities and projects.

Historial

The curricula of IST 1st and 2nd Cycle were reformed in the 2021/2022 with and implementation of a new teaching model and pedagogical practices.

The MSc programme in Molecular Science and Engineering derives from the former MSc in Chemistry.

Objectivos

Molecular Science is a scientific area that deals with the chemistry of molecules, with a huge impact on the development of today’s society. Our students will acquire skills to develop new chemical compounds, polymers and nanomaterials that respond to societal, environmental, and industrial challenges, whether in the pharmaceutical or fine-chemical, agro-food or polymers and nanomaterials.

The students of Técnico MSc in Molecular Science and Engineering design new molecules using advanced molecular modelling tools, synthesize and characterize them using qualitative and quantitative laboratory experimental state of the art method. In addition, they work on optimizing the synthesis process of these compounds and materials, assessing individual and environmental risks, innovating on the sustainability side.

Destinatários

The Master in Molecular Science and Engineering is designed for graduates in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Materials and related fields.

Saídas Profissionais

Técnico MSc graduates in Molecular Science and Engineering may work in industry and services, namely in research and development, or in academia in areas such as Fine Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Cosmetic Industry, Agri-food Industry, Polymers, Coatings, Nanomaterials, Environment and Energy. They are able to develop activities such as:

  • Design and synthesis of new molecules;
  • Development of sustainable chemicals;
  • Study and development of new polymeric and nanomaterials architectures;
  • Quality control;
  • Marketing of products, equipment and processes;
  • Consulting, leadership, leadership and management functions;
  • Vocational training and education.

Regime de Funcionamento

The 2nd Cycle in Molecular Science and Engineering has a duration of 4 semesters (2 years), which is equivalent to 120 ECTS credits.

The course is entirely taught in English.
