At HAN University of Applied Sciences, we are developing an applied master’s track in Chemistry, with the aim of launching our first cohort in September 2026. This program is designed to educate bachelor’s graduates from various chemistry disciplines, enabling them to independently plan and execute R&D projects by enhancing their knowledge and skills in both science and project management. Additionally, the program provides a deeper understanding of theoretical chemistry, focusing on teaching students to work independently, solve problems, and make scientific decisions based on their expertise. While the skills and theories taught are broadly applicable, all assignments will be contextualized within drug development. By combining a theoretical curriculum with a long-term internship for full-time students or practical experience at their workplace for part-time students, participants can directly apply their learning in real-world settings.
