Meet our students

Bashar, masters student in analytical chemistry.

"You will get high-quality education and all kinds of support from teachers and the administration. The most important thing is to make friends and study in groups – then college might as well be the best time of your life."

My name is Bashar Abdelahad and I’m doing my first year at the master program in Analytical Chemistry. I came to Sweden 4,5 years ago but I was born in Syria and did my initial chemistry studies there. I love chemistry, and since chemistry has the same language all over the world I decided to complete my studies at Stockholm University.  

I needed one year of study to get my bachelor's degree from Stockholm University.  I felt that I needed to understand chemistry more deeply and that's why I continued with the master program. For me, chemistry is a science with no end. 

I think the most interesting part of chemistry is biochemistry since you study proteins, DNA and energy processes in our bodies. The best thing about the program is that we spend a lot of time in the lab. At Stockholm university, you will not forget what you have learned because you get the information theoretical and then you apply it practically at the lab. My favourite lab is the analytical one because there we can test different methods to find and analyse compounds. It could be for example the amount of toxic compounds in the water, soil, materials, food, air or organisms. ​ 

Chemistry has many branches and at the bachelor level you will learn about all these branches. You will learn how to plan, think logic, solve problems and develop your skills, you will learn, explore and discover things and details which you can't imagine exist. After the bachelor you can choose the branch that you love and move to a more advanced level. I think it’s more fun at this level since it allows you to be more independent at the lab and you can use your knowledge to solve the problems. ​ 

Throughout your study at Stockholm University you will get high-quality education and all kinds of support from teachers and the administration. The most important thing is to make friends and study in groups – then college might as well be the best time of your life. 

Best of luck!

"Kanelbullens dag" properly celebrated in Analytical Chemistry

Kanelbullens dag, or Cinnamon Bun Day for our non-Swedish speakers, happens every day on October 4th. This year the master's students in Analytical Chemistry got some special treatment along with their fika.

The department invited the students to a mingling event where they would also listen to three minute speed-talks by department PIs. All in an effort to get the students to better understand the reserach going on at the department as well as better understand what subject and projects they can choose from for their thesis work next year.

The afternoon also included a surprise pub quizon the chemical to non-chemical topics by second year student Yvonne. Cinnamon buns were of course consumed and the event finsihed with a tour of the labs at the end.

Meet our teachers

Anneli, program responsible and researcher in analytical chemistry.

"What makes a good chemistry student? Ability to dream big and be passionate of what you do. As a teacher, I am devoted to opening the magic of chemistry (and data) to the students."

Associate Professor Anneli Kruve is not only responsible for the master's program in analytical chemistry, she is also a researcher, focusing on developing machine learning tools for analytical chemistry.

Hi Anneli, can please tell me a little bit about yourself?

I am an Assistant Professor at Stockholm University in Analytical Chemistry. I am an analytical chemist by training but I also did a degree in computer science. I am very passionate about using chemical data for making data driven decision and using data to make even better analytical chemistry. 

In the MSc program in Analytical Chemistry, I am teaching method validation, quantification, chromatography and most of all advanced data handling. I am excited to show how advanced data science tools alongside chemistry can benefit pinpointing hazardous chemicals responsible for the toxicity of wastewater or diagnosing dieses from metabolic profiles. 

You are orginally from Estonia, how did you end up at SU? I joined SU three years ago. I was and still am very drawn to the rich environment at SU. I have found at SU experts in almost anything I could dream about and this has allowed me to build a network of good colleagues. As a student, you will be directly exposed to this very diverse and vibrant environment. 

What is your position? I am a group leader and a teacher. My research group is focusing on developing machine learning tools for analytical chemistry. We are especially interested in so called nontarget screening with high-resolution mass spectrometry. In comparison to classical targeted analysis methods that start with an assumption about the presence of specific chemicals in a specific sample, nontarget screening aims to look for all chemicals in the sample of and figure out which of these are most important. For example, what are the most toxic chemicals in wastewater? This is a very hard task, but it needs to be done to understand the chemicals in our environment, food, as well as re- and up-cycled consumer products. Our job is to make this a bit easier by developing tools for identification and quantification of the chemicals detected with nontarget analysis. This task requires a understanding of the analytical processes as well as creativity and passion for data driven solutions.

What makes a good chemistry student?

Ability to dream big and be passionate of what you do. Without dreams we will not be able to deliver a better future. After this come ability to focus, work collaboratively, and some background in natural sciences.

What did you learn during your studies that you find valuable today? Take the most of it. In every sense. It is a time when you can dig deep and wide, fall in love with a topic, disappoint, and find a new interest. It is part of the game. Also, do not forget to enjoy yourself, university will give you friends for life and a network that you can fall back on later in life. 

Why should anyone study chemistry? As a first year BSc student in chemistry, I was not sure if I should continue in chemistry or switch to IT, which was one of my compulsory courses. However, I did not switch. I started working with chromatography in a biomedicine lab as an undergraduate and slowly moved towards using mass spectrometry as a detector. Soon the magical word of mass spectrometry rolled out in front of me. I was immediately fascinated by the magic still surrounding the ionization techniques. This allowed me to combine my passion for chemistry and data-driven thinking. My research would not be possible if I did not understand the chemistry behind the processes we are modelling. Chemistry really gives you an angle to work in any field you are interested in, be that medicine, food, environment, recycling, energy, or IT. 

What motivates you in your role/what are your driving forces? As a researcher I am driven by finding out new things and enabling the unthinkable. As a teacher, I am devoted to opening the magic of chemistry (and data) to the students. 

In what way do you believe chemistry can help build a more sustainable future? At the end of the day, it all boils down to chemistry. What happens to the materials during recycling? What is released to the environment and what is retained in the products? Why do some materials lose its durability? What is the most valuable product that we can “make” of waste? Can sewage produce energy? Behind all these questions are chemical reactions and processes, and accounting for these is essential in moving towards sustainable future. 

Meet our researchers

Meet louise, phd student in analytical chemistry.

"Not only is chemistry fun to study, it also increases your understanding of the world and how it works, and in addition it gives you good opportunities to find a job."

Can you tell me a bit about yourself?  My name is Louise, I am from Stockholm and have lived here most of my life. After high school, I worked for one year before starting studying welding. Then I worked as a welder for five years, before realising that this was not what I wanted to do with my life. After taking a scientific base year at komvux in order to be able to study meteorology, I found out I really liked chemistry, and now I am doing my PhD in the field of analytical chemistry.

How did you end up at SU? Since I live in Stockholm, and I don’t want to move away from family and friends, Stockholm University was an easy choice for me for my bachelor studies. Then I really liked it here, so I continued with my master studies (in analytical chemistry) here and now I’m doing my PhD here too. What I liked with the chemistry studies here at SU is that there is so much practical work in the laboratory, and not just theory. I also like that you get the opportunity to use some advanced instruments during the masters and diploma work.

What is your position? Currently, I am a PhD student in Anneli Kruve’s group, but I’ve been a student at SU for a little over five years already as I took my BSc and MSc here.

What do you think makes a good chemistry student? A good chemistry student is someone who is curious to understand how the nature works, but also patient and meticulous in their work. Especially in analytical chemistry, analyses can take some time so you need to be patient and plan your work. After analysis, there is also a lot of work with the data, which also requires patience and an eye for details.

Not only is chemistry fun to study, it also increases your understanding of the world and how it works, and in addition it gives you good opportunities to find a job. 

Why should anyone study chemistry? Not only is chemistry fun to study, it also increases your understanding of the world and how it works, and in addition it gives you good opportunities to find a job. 

In what way do you believe chemistry can help build a more sustainable future? We are all, whether we like it or not, very dependent of chemistry. I know many people think about chemistry as some dirty business that rather destroys nature than helps making it better. This is understandable, but chemistry also makes our life much easier and helps building a more sustainable future. For example, by making sustainable materials, research on energy storage, etc. My research focuses on quantification of contaminants without their analytical standards, which can aid in regulations of hazardous contaminants in the environment.    

Career opportunities

The career prospects for someone with master’s in analytical chemistry are extremely good. The degree is very flexible and can be used in many fields including healthcare, environmental monitoring, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and more.

For the last ten years graduates of this programme have found full employment upon graduation.

Campus Availability

MSc in Chemistry

• Programme Structure

Programme Structure

The Master of Science programme in chemistry offers you four different specialisations: Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Synthesis, or Physical and Computational Chemistry. You can also study Chemistry with a minor subject. You can read about each specialisation at the bottom of the page.

The programme takes two years to complete. The first year consists of a series of compulsory and elective courses. In the second year, you will concentrate on your thesis.

Do a Project in Practice or Study Abroad

You can choose to use some of your elective courses on a Project in Practice in collaboration with a company or an organisation – or you can study abroad as part of your programme.

Master's Thesis

Your degree is capped off with the thesis. The thesis work is experimental in nature e.g., it must include experimental work or production of scientific work in terms of the generation of original data and/or original material.

You do your thesis work in a research group at the Department of Chemistry under the supervision of a researcher. You create a study plan and a description of your thesis work together with your supervisor.

You can also complete your thesis work in a private firm or public institution in Denmark or abroad. You will then be assigned an internal supervisor from the Department of Chemistry as well as an external supervisor from wherever you are performing your thesis work. Your graduate education is completed with an oral defence of your thesis conducted by an external examiner.

Specialisations

• Analytical Chemistry

Graduates with a specialisation in analytical chemistry are in demand in research, at industrial production industries from energy over foods and pharmaceuticals to biotech and at environmental consultancies.

You learn to analyze chemical composition of samples, and to reveal how these were formed and how to improve their production. You'll get hands on experience in the lab using high end scientific instruments. Furthermore, you learn to select, develop, validate and assess chemical analyses.

During the specialisation, you will work with:

• Sampling theory and sample preparation methods, chromatography, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopic methods.
• Practical use of advanced analytical techniques for analysis of gas, liquid and solid samples.
• Quantitative and qualitative chemical analyses.

Upon graduation you'll have the competencies to p lan and perform sampling, as well as to sample preparation of complex matrices. You will also be able to analyze simple and complex mixtures of chemicals and elements using modern chromatography, mass spectrometry and spectroscopy methods, and to perform data analysis for qualitative (identification) and quantitative (concentration measurements) analysis.

Denmark has one of the highest ratios of advanced scientific instruments to population, so jobs are plentiful in research, industry, biotech and consultancy. Among other things, you can find work within production or research in fields as plant breeding, foods, biotechnology, catalysis, and environmental chemistry.

See the full description of the knowledge, competencies and skills you obtain with this specialization in the curriculum for Chemistry.

The specialisation can be structured in two different ways, depending on whether you start in September or February:

Programme Overview, Study Start in September

Compulsory courses: 30 ECTS Elective courses: 30 ECTS Master's thesis: 60 ECTS

One block each year equals nine weeks of study and 15 ECTS.

Programme Overview, Study Start in February

Study start in february is only for students with a reserved access to the programme. read about reserved access here >>.

Inorganic Chemistry

The specialisation in inorganic chemistry prepares you to take the lead in research and development. As a graduate you are able to develop new functional materials. For example, molecular electronics that allow computers to grow smaller using fewer elements harmful to nature, catalysts that allows industries to produce more and pollute less, or plastics that are lighter and stronger yet biodegradable.

A central aspect of developing new compounds and materials is to characterize the new molecules you have invented. This involves use of large scale research facilities such as the largest synchrotron facility in Europe, the European Spallation Source (ESS), which is currently being built just an hour’s drive away from Copenhagen. So studying for your M.Sc. in Copenhagen also gives you ample opportunity to develop your skills at planning and executing research programmes at large scale facilities.

Among other things, you will focus on inorganic and coordination chemistry, materials science and theoretical modelling of inorganic systems. Upon graduation you have the competencies to:

• use modern experimental techniques in inorganic chemistry.
• describe the most important experimental techniques applied in the characterization of inorganic compounds.
• describe and rationalize the most important periodic variation in the chemical and physical properties of the elements and their compounds.
• apply electronic structure models to inorganic systems.

Organic Synthesis

New medicines, smart materials, better fuels, brighter pigments, perfumes and more. With a specialisation in organic synthesis you will be trained to invent and develop new organic compounds. You acquire a deep insight into what can and cannot be produced in an organic chemistry laboratory. You also get hands on experience with advanced techniques and equipment for producing small molecules.

Among other things, you learn to:

• elucidate the reaction mechanisms of desired and undesired organic reactions.
• work independently with specialized equipment and advanced synthesis methods.
• work with synthetic chemistry under inert atmosphere, anhydrous conditions and extreme conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.).
• work with various types of chromatographic purification methods.
• organize, describe, execute and optimize multistep syntheses on large and small scales.

When you graduate, you'll have the competencies to analyze reactions on the basis of physical organic chemistry. You are also able to analyze complex synthetic problems and plan a feasible synthesis. These are competencies that are sought after by the private sector, not least the pharmaceutical industry.

Physical and Computational Chemistry

The physical and computational chemistry specialisation focus on fundamental forces in chemistry as well as questions such as how atmospheric phenomena relates to climate change, or how we store solar energy.

You can involve yourself in anything from full scale investigations of atmospheric phenomena to analysis and spectroscopic experimentation in the laboratory and predictive theoretical and computational chemistry. You can investigate the forces acting between single atoms in a molecule, and draw inferences to the macroscopic interactions that governs entire planetary atmospheric systems.

You will learn to:

• use methods and software within the field of computational chemistry e.g., high level programming and machine learning.
• use experimental and theoretical advanced physical chemical methods.
• use experimental techniques within gas, liquid, and solid phase spectroscopy.
• use basic spectroscopic instruments and to describe different techniques and the theory behind them.

With a specialisation in physical and computational chemistry you have an expertise in spectroscopy and physical chemistry, which is in demand in high tech industries, environmental agencies, consulting companies and the biomedical industry. Your insight into high level programming and data mining also makes you sought after by the IT-sector as well as in finance and banking.

Chemistry With a Minor Subject

You can study chemistry with a minor subject if you want to acquire the competences to teach or disseminate both subjects. This enables you to teach in Danish upper secondary schools.

Furthermore, you will be qualified to work in e.g., chemical, phamaceutical, high-tech, or consulting companies, as well as within the public sector, universities, or sector research institutes. You will also have the prerequisites for further studies e.g., a PhD programme.

See the full description of the admission requirements, as well as the knowledge, competences, and skills you obtain in the curriculum for Chemistry with a Minor Subject.
