Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original. You must take the original entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university. You can apply with scan copies of your documents, however you will present their originals to the university during enrollment (in mid-September or mid-February) and they (scan copies and originals) have to be the same documents.

Territory requirements	Applications are accepted from the following territories (based on citizenship): World.

Language requirements	English Accepted proof of proficiency: FCE or CAE, IELTS 6+ or TOEFL 79+ English language proficiency (TOEFL 547 /IELTS 6.0 /oral examination)

Other requirements

At least 2 reference(s) must be provided. If you don’t meet the admission requirements, you can have an additional preparatory semester (or year) program (pre-master). This bridging program is dedicated to those students who do not have required credits and courses from their former studies, therefore, they are unable to enroll the intended master’s program. The tuition fees of the pre-master program are as same as for the relevant bachelor’s program and any pre-master program starts in both semesters (in September and in February).

Overview

Graduates of the MSc programme have significant knowledge in all major fields of chemistry including inorganic, organic, physical, biological, analytical, structural, theoretical and technical chemistry. They acquire advanced application skills in chemistry during laboratory courses with special emphasis on synthetic and structural chemistry and the application of the most common analytical techniques. Possessing broad knowledge in the use of chemical literature, they work successfully in both the chemical industry and chemical laboratories including research and development areas.
