De onderzoeksspecialisatie biedt de student de mogelijkheid om twee volle jaren te spenderen aan training en specialisatie om een onafhankelijk en creatief wetenschapper te worden. De MSc-studenten worden lid van een van de onderzoeksgroepen in het Leids Instituut voor Scheikunde (LIC). De student ontwikkelt zijn/haar individuele MSc programma samen met de mentor. De meerderheid van de studenten die deze specialisatie hebben gekozen, vervolgen hun carrière met een PhD-plek.
Programme
Research Internship
The research internship may be split into a major internship (60-40 ec) and a minor internship (at least 20 ec). The minor and major internship project may be related and this may be reflected in a combined master’s thesis. In consent with the mentor the minor internship can be carried out in another research area, another institute (within the Netherlands or abroad), or in a company.
Compulsory Courses
The compulsory theoretical component comprises of a selection of four core courses and a literature essay with colloquium. Three of the courses are selected within the chosen research area and one is chosen from the core courses offered by the other research areas.
Elective Courses
The elective component consists of a free choice of theoretical courses. Alternatively, a maximum of 20 EC can be used to extend the research internships. The mentor may limit the choice of elective courses by the need to adapt the programme to the current knowledge of the individual student, depending on his or her background.
You can choose your electives from the list of core courses within or outside your chosen research area, from the MSc courses offered in the Science Faculty, or courses from the BSc MST and LS&T programmes provided that these were not part of the student’s earlier studies. All other electives have to be approved by the Board of Examiners.
