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• 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
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
