Providing tools for developing molecules and materials that make modern, sustainable, and life-enhancing innovations possible – this is what the Chemistry and Materials Science Master’s Programme is all about. Today, a wide range of industries, such as energy, pharmaceutical, and electronics, utilise more materials than ever before to produce cutting-edge solutions. As a result, there is a globally growing demand for new and increasingly complex materials as well as for industry experts who have the skills to develop them.

At the same time, the increasing use of batteries and hydrogen also call for advanced material solutions. The world not only needs to find more ethical and environmentally friendly materials to produce catalysts for hydrogen production and batteries, but also ways to make batteries more efficient.

The Chemistry and Materials Science Master’s Programme provides students with the right skill set and hands-on experience needed to find solutions to these modern challenges. Aalto University’s chemistry and materials science education is based on high level research and the programme is one of the best in its field in the Nordic countries.

Students have the freedom to create their own individual study track based on their interests and aspirations. They can opt for a cross-disciplinary path that gives them a broad palette of skills. Students can also choose to focus on one of these study paths: 

Chemistry

  • Organic or inorganic chemistry 
  • Electrochemistry
  • Modelling


Materials science

  • Inorganic materials and nanomaterials
  • Soft materials
  • Micro and nanotechnology
  • Materials related to energy storage
