A degree in chemistry can be the start of your journey to becoming one of the problem-solvers, entrepreneurs, or discoverers of the future. From the bachelor’s level onward, teaching is conducted in English, and our instructors come from all over the world, creating an international and inspiring learning environment. As a student, you will spend a great deal of time in our laboratories at the Chemical Training Laboratory (KÖL) and the Arrhenius Laboratory, where you will already at an advanced level work with the same sophisticated equipment used by our researchers.

PhD Programme
The doctoral programme at the Department of Chemistry offers the opportunity to conduct independent research in analytical, organic, sustainable, physical, materials and inorganic chemistry, as well as in energy, environment and health.
The programme is designed to be completed over four full-time years. It consists of two parts: coursework totaling 60 ECTS credits and an independent research project culminating in a PhD thesis. The thesis typically summarises the research presented in several scientific journal articles based on your doctoral work.
PhD courses
Each year, we offer several courses for PhD students. When you begin your PhD, you will receive information about the courses that apply to you.
The courses listed under “Introductory Courses for PhD Students at the Chemistry Section” are mandatory for all PhD students in the department. The courses are also open to post docs, subject to availability.
