Presentation
Master’s degree in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda.
Why study the Master’s Degree in Synthetic and Industrial Chemistry?
- It simultaneously provides the degree by the Universities of the Basque Country, Valladolid and The Public University of Navarre.
- Double orientation:
- professional/business: designed by taking into account the nearby socioeconomic environment in which the graduates will find their labor market insertion. In this sense, several of the subjects deal directly with aspects related to the companies of the chemical, pharmaceutical sector, etc., for which speakers from companies and industries have been incorporated.
- researcher/academic: 30 credits corresponding to initial research work, which enables access to the doctorate.
- It will qualify you as an expert in:
- synthetic methodology,
- preparation of raw materials and/or fine chemicals,
- structural determination,
- and separation and purification techniques.
- The newest and most specific aspects of current chemical synthesis will be addressed.
- The teaching staff includes international experts (from Spanish and foreign universities) and the participation of companies, entities and technology centres.
