Master in Life Sciences Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry

The Master in Life Sciences – Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry at FHNW builds advanced knowledge in modern organic chemistry and in molecule and synthesis design. You also study functional systems and surfaces, including bioconjugates, bioactive surfaces, and functional materials for therapeutic or diagnostic applications.

The programme combines a core of Organic Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry with electives from related fields such as Analytical Chemistry, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, and Pharma Technology. You complete a practice-oriented master’s thesis over eight months at an industry partner or a partner university. It is delivered full-time or part-time/work-study, with onsite and online learning options.
