International Master Scholarships in Surface, Electro, Radiation & Photo-Chemistry

International Master Scholarships in Surface, Electro, Radiation & Photo-Chemistry: The Master in Surface, Electro, Radiation & Photo-Chemistry (SERP-Chem) aims at training young students in the most performing experimental and theoretical tools used and developed in chemistry and physical-chemistry.

It is an answer for an increasing need of skilled people to participate in the efforts developed scientifically or industrially in areas of great relevance towards economic sustainability and environmental safety, conservation and protection such as: development of renewable energies and “no-energy” chemistry based on photon-induced reactions, use of radiation induced processes to optimize applications, surface treatment and modification, development of compounds for catalysis aimed at enhancing the selectivity and the efficiency of chemical and industrial processes.

This international study programme stems from existing scientific links between participating institutions.

Students enrolled in the two-year programme will attend lectures in at least two different countries of their choice.

Admission Criteria

Applicants should have or should be in process to get a Bachelor (BS) degree at the time of the application.

The proof of the Bachelor degree will be asked when entering the master.

An applicant with a degree from an institution where the language of instruction is not English is required to provide official score reports from either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

Other criteria to be taken into account are awards and external references.
