Most chemical research involves synthesis and characterisation of new molecules. Basically, a trial and error approach. This specialisation goes one step further: it aims to fundamentally unravel the properties of molecules and materials. We try to find answers by developing theory and applying physical set-ups for advanced spectroscopic experiments, involving high magnetic fields, free-electron lasers, scanning probe microscopes, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc.

You will get an in-depth understanding of the fundamental behaviour of molecules and materials aiming to discover novel functionalities. Thanks to the many research facilities located on the Radboud campus, you’ll be able to perform advanced spectroscopic experiments on site. Besides experimental work it is possible to focus on the theoretical aspects of the research. You can follow your personal interests; work on bio(mimetic) molecules whereas others might prefer energy materials. It’s also possible to specialise in the development of new spectroscopic methods.

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

At Radboud University, all chemistry and physics research groups work closely together in the Institute for Molecules and Materials, allowing you to tackle a wide range of exciting problems during your internship. We hosts a number of internationally unique research facilities. Researchers are approachable and there is a very friendly atmosphere on campus.
  • Radboud University hosts a large number of advanced spectroscopic facilities.
  • All our physical and chemical Material Science departments are combined in one institute, therefore, collaborating is second nature to us.
  • We have multiple collaborations with companies ranging from multinationals to start-ups, where you can perform your internship(s).
  • You’ll meet a diverse group of researchers in a personal setting: a good starting point for your future network.
