The MSc in Science Studies is open to students with a science bachelor’s degree who are seeking a wider perspective on how the natural sciences have developed in their interaction with society and contemporary culture. The program includes the following themes building on the bachelor’s science background – history and philosophy of science; science, technology, and innovation; science and society; and science and communication.

The Master's degree program in Biology combines a broad foundation in natural sciences with state-of-the-art knowledge and advanced experimental methodology within biology.

The agrobiology course is a climate change and population growth poses a huge, multifaceted, worldwide challenge to agricultural production. Food production needs to be increased in scale and efficiency, while at the same time animal welfare, the environment, and natural resources need to be protected. A degree in agrobiology will equip you to play a part in finding solutions to these problems.

Explore Earth’s systems and tackle environmental challenges with Aarhus University’s MSc in Geoscience. This research-driven program blends geology and geophysics, covering climate change, water resources, geothermal energy, and Carbon Capture and Storage, preparing you for a career in sustainability and energy.

The MSc programme in Chemistry lets students specialise in their chosen area of interest while building strong foundational knowledge in the field. Students can construct their unique programme with courses from various branches of chemistry such as organic, biophysical, materials, atmospheric, inorganic, theoretical/computational, and physical chemistry.

In MSc Physics You adjust the laboratory lasers before going to your next lecture on cold atoms. You feed your computer the latest measurements from the scanning tunneling microscope and see if the placement of the extra atoms on the surface matches your model calculation. You do some work on your model for a quantum computer, before going to the next lecture in quantum optics.

The MSc program in Biology provides you with the opportunity to specialize in one or more of the areas of biology that you find most interesting. Because all students begin with a basic knowledge of biology, the teaching is at a high level right from the start. The Department of Biology at Aarhus University is popular among students and researchers from abroad. It is an active and international research environment.

MSc in Mathematics-Economics has taught you about how rates for a new mortgage loan should be fixed – with an interest-rate ceiling or as interest-only loans. In fact, it was mathematics–economics graduates who developed the model used for fixing the cost of such loans. All major companies face complex problems, and many turn to mathematics–economists when they do.

Aarhus University’s MSc in Medicinal Chemistry builds on a strong chemical foundation. It is a flexible study programme that can be tailored to the specific interests of the individual student while aligning with the interests of industry, research institutions, and the public sector. While the programme is customisable, there is an emphasis on the medicinal aspects of chemistry such as organic synthesis, chemical biology, drug delivery, biophysical chemistry and biomolecular structure and function.

As a student of Chemistry, you get the opportunity to work in some of the country’s best laboratories and you have great job and career prospects when you graduate. In the Chemistry program, you will become part of the research of chemical compounds for new pharmaceutical products and modified DNA, which will help us target infected cells in the body.

The Master's degree program in Mathematics develops your knowledge of scientific theories and methods, your experience in working independently with scientific questions, and your ability to express yourself clearly on academic issues.

With internationally awarded and acknowledged research groups at the forefront of Physics, SDU has one of the most versatile and dynamic academic environments to offer you a specialised education in the fields of Computational Physics, Particle Physics & Cosmology, Quantum Optics, and Soft Matter & Statistical Physics.

The Master’s programme in Mathematics at Aarhus University develops and expands the basic mathematical skills you have acquired during your bachelor’s degree programme. During the programme, you will be introduced to advanced topics of pure mathematics, selected according to your mathematical interests and preferences. At the end of the programme, you will write a master’s thesis, that takes you to the forefront of research for a particular area of mathematics.

In the Applied mathematics program, you will learn to model and solve problems from the practical world using advanced mathematical methods. Aside from the basic mathematical principles, the Applied mathematics program will acquaint you with mathematical modeling, i.e. formulating complex problems in applications as mathematical problems, in order to analyze them and perform calculations digitally.

With a master programme in Physics and Technology you will acquire specialist skills in a broad area, primarily linked to the design and fabrication of nanostructured functional materials as well as the characteristics of light and its interaction with atoms, molecules and matter. Applications that exploit these aspects are the primary focus of this academic profile.
