Molecular Sciences is a two-year research-oriented Master's programme covering all aspects of the synthesis and functioning of molecules.
As a Molecular Sciences student in Nijmegen, you will dive into all aspects of the synthesis and functioning of molecules; from solid state molecular chemistry to spectroscopy and to the chemical biology that lies at the basis of health and disease. This Master’s programme combines theoretical courses with extensive research internships in a multidisciplinary environment. It offers four distinctive research specialisations: Molecular Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Chemistry of Life and Medicinal Chemistry.
All of our chemistry and physics groups are combined in the Institute of Molecules and Materials; offering a large and exciting range of topics such as biochemisty, physical chemistry, or materials science. Close collaboration with researchers at the Radboud medical centre results in innovating research projects in cell biology and drug development.
In the specialisation Medicinal Chemistry you will deal with the discovery, design, development, targeted delivery, and both pharmacological and analytical characterisation of drug substances.
Medicinal chemists are indispensable in the preclinical stages of drug development. In this specialisation, you will study all stages of drug development (discovery, design, development, targeted delivery), including the phases of drug activity relating to a drug’s formulation, the analysis of its toxicity, and the understanding of its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. You will learn how to develop a potential drug candidate on a molecular level and get acquainted with the latest trends in the field used to understand and tackle the molecular mechanisms of disease.
The courses in the specialisation are strongly related to the research within three research institutes: The Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) and Radboud Institue for Health Sciences (RIHS). Research internships are available in all three institutes, but you can also go abroad, or to a company for one of the internships.

Molecular Chemistry is a creative science, which involves the synthesis of molecules with new biological or physical properties in order to meet scientific or societal challenges.
The Master's specialisation Molecular Chemistry lies at the heart of chemistry, where chemists synthesise molecules with new biological or physical properties to address scientific or societal challenges. Think of new catalytic conversions, lead compounds for future medicines or the next generation of conducting polymers. Working with chemical structures, the possibilities are endless: in principle, every molecule can be made. The challenge is to adapt the 3D-structure to the desired properties and design an efficient synthesis method.
The specialisation in Molecular Chemistry is closely connected to the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), which hosts world-class research groups and a state-of-the-art research infrastructure. In your internships, you can conduct independent research at IMM, under personal guidance of a researcher. Not seldom this leads to a scientific publication with you as a co-author.

In the Master's specialisation Chemistry of Life you will focus on complex molecular systems in a biological context; using chemistry to understand life at the molecular level and interact with it.
In this specialisation, you will learn how cells work from a chemist’s perspective and become an expert in the chemistry of all biologically relevant molecules. The first step is to understand how cells work: which processes are essential to the functioning of a cell? Which proteins are involved? And what is the relation between their structure and functioning? Next, you can start to modify the working of the cell, addressing challenging problems, such as wound healing and drug delivery.
With this comprehensive theoretical basis in chemical biology and hands-on experience in a lab, you'll make an excellent candidate for an academic career. If you fancy a job outside of academia, you can also apply your background in a pharmaceutical company, or any other health oriented institution. We encourage you to explore your dream job during a second internship, which is a perfect stepping stone to your future career.

The Master's specialisation Physical Chemistry aims at fundamentally unravelling the properties of molecules and materials, trying to find answers by developing theory and applying physical set-ups.
Most chemical research involves synthesis and characterisation of new molecules. Basically, a trial and error approach. This specialisation goes one step further: it aims to fundamentally unravel the properties of molecules and materials. We try to find answers by developing theory and applying physical set-ups for advanced spectroscopic experiments, involving high magnetic fields, free-electron lasers, scanning probe microscopes, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc.
You will get an in-depth understanding of the fundamental behaviour of molecules and materials aiming to discover novel functionalities. Thanks to the many research facilities located on the Radboud campus, you’ll be able to perform advanced spectroscopic experiments on site. Besides experimental work it is possible to focus on the theoretical aspects of the research. You can follow your personal interests; work on bio(mimetic) molecules whereas others might prefer energy materials. It’s also possible to specialise in the development of new spectroscopic methods.

Science and technology fundamentally influence society. The reverse is also true: society shapes the ways in which science and technology evolve. You become a critical researcher and bridge-builder.
Science and technology fundamentally influence society. The reverse is also true: society shapes the ways in which science and technology evolve. You become a critical researcher and bridge-builder.
In the specialisation, you will learn how science and society influence each other, how the various social and scientific actors interact and how implicit assumptions, values, and interests of these actors can be made visible and open to discussion. You will also learn under which circumstances tensions arise between science and society, how we can understand these tensions and what solutions are possible.
In that process, you acquire skills in critical thinking, social research, and the analysis of media and culture. At the end, you will be a biologist, chemist, mathematician, etc. that understands the philosophical assumptions as well as political and social values in scientific developments. You will be able to make scientists familiar with societal perceptions, and to contribute to science-related consultancy for governments, businesses, or citizen groups.
