Study with us

Graduate students in the Department of Chemistry are trained in advanced techniques by leading experts in their respective fields. With a strong emphasis on critical thinking, innovative approaches, and project management, alongside the core skills of your discipline, you will be well-prepared to make a meaningful contribution to the field of chemistry, whether as a practitioner or a researcher.

Pedro labbar
Our research focuses on developing new materials for a sustainable society, employing green synthesis and sustainable processing routes. We develop advanced methodologies for chemical analysis and structural characterisation, including analytical chemistry tools, electron crystallography, different spectroscopic methods and multiscale modelling. Say hello to our teachers.
Campus in fall - atmosfär 293
Studying in Stockholm is a unique experience. On one hand, Stockholm is known as a leader in technology, and SU has many partnerships uniting research and application. There is also a flourishing arts and social scene. On the other hand, the university sits in the middle of an urban national park and opportunities to enjoy nature abound.
Gröna villan
As a chemistry student, life is not only about the lab or lectures. Next to the Arrhenius labs, you will find the Gröna Villan, home to the Science Faculty Student Association. A place to hang out with friends or go to the Thursday pub.
 

Programmes on all levels

Our bachelor programme in Chemistry is a joint programme together with the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics.

Our programmes on master´s level are designed for those who wish to specialise in a particular area of chemistry. Over the course of two years, you will study intensively under the guidance of leading researchers at our institution. The programme builds on your theoretical and practical knowledge, taking you to the forefront of chemistry. The Master's programmes conclude with an extended research project, either in academia or industry.

We also gives doctoral programmes in Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry.

Research at the Department of Chemistry

As a student with us at advanced level, you will have access to the latest international research and use the same state-of-art equipment as our researchers. As our researchers are also your lecturers, you will study in an inspiring environment where you can directly benefit from their expertise.

Our research addresses global challenges in the energy system, the environment, and health, all with the aim of working towards a sustainable future for everyone.

We focus on developing new materials for a sustainable society, using green synthesis methods and sustainable processing routes. Additionally, we advance methodologies for chemical analysis and structural characterisation, including analytical chemistry tools, electron crystallography, various spectroscopic techniques, and multiscale modelling.

Meet our graduate students

Everyone has their own goals for where an advanced degree in chemistry will take them – whether it’s a career in research, industry, or even education. What impact will you have? What drives you? What are your dreams?

Read about how some of our graduate students reflect on these questions, as well as their stories and advice for new graduate students.

 

Athina, master student in Sustainable Chemistry

"I also appreciated the positive study environment and the large diversity of students in the courses"

Louise, PhD student and former master's student in analytical chemistry

"We are all, whether we like it or not, very dependent of chemistry"

Read the interview

Faiz, master's student from the UK in analytical chemistry

"The beauty of chemistry is that it has such a large variety of components which can peak your interest. Whether that be the synthesis aspect of organic or studying various chemical systems of physical chemistry, there always seems to be something of interest to everyone!"

Natalia, PhD student from Poland, sustainable materials chemisty

"Understanding chemistry gives me the possibility to understand the world. Starting from the fun stuff like being able to recognize chemical ingredients of my hair shampoo (and being able to imagine their structural formula) to having the ability to actually make a difference by developing new, eco-friendly materials in my research work...."
