38 Natural Sciences Degree Programs in Denmark

MSc in Molecular Biology is a form part of our day-to-day lives wherever we are, and we constantly have to make decisions drawing on scientific and technological knowledge. Natural scientists tell us the significance of C02 in relation to climate change, and when we have to decide whether to reduce C02 emissions, we need to understand what sort of knowledge we have and on what it is based.

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.

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.

We are currently witnessing the start of the quantum industrial revolution. In 2023 the Danish government launched a new strategy to enhance quantum technology and NATO launched a center for quantum technology in Denmark. A Danish quantum internet is under development, and it will connect selected geographical locations, including the University of Southern Denmark. The quantum internet will be launched in 2025.

The two-year MSc in Statistics is open to students from universities in Denmark and abroad. The program is flexible, allowing students to specialize while at the same time acquiring general competencies in statistics. It is also possible to become a PhD student within the area.

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.

Master in Population Studies Learn about populations and societal challenges brought on by population changes. Gain a unique education fusing social sciences, quantitative methods, and programming and graduate with a widely demanded skillset. Are you interested in understanding and analysing population changes and how they are challenging contemporary societies? Population issues, like ageing and population growth, are the results of changes in three key demographic behaviours: migration (when people move from one place to another), fertility (how many babies are born), and mortality (how long people live).

Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary field of science that deals with understanding and utilizing materials and phenomena at the nanoscale – that is, between 0.1 and 100 nanometres. The ability to work on this scale makes it possible to achieve highly improved or completely new functions and properties in a wide range of materials.

In the Work-Integrated Master’s degree in Biology at Aarhus University, you study part-time while working part-time in a company or organisation. This lets you apply biological theories and methods directly in practice, and after four years, you graduate with both strong work experience and a high-quality master’s degree.

In the Work-Integrated Master’s degree in Chemistry at Aarhus University, you study part-time while working part-time in a company or organisation. This lets you apply the theories and methods from your courses directly to real chemical tasks. After the 4-year programme, you will graduate with both solid work experience and a high-quality master’s degree.

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.

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.

A Physics and Technology engineer combines the best of two worlds: the drive of a physicist to understand the basic principles of how the world works and the drive of an engineer to find new technological solutions to the challenges of our society. Some of the main challenges of today are related to energy and climate, and the solutions are in many cases related to the intelligent use of materials.

As an MSc in Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering student, you will learn how to develop and optimise sustainable, resource-efficient, and technologically advanced processes for modern industry.

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.

In the Work-Integrated Master’s degree in Medicinal Chemistry at Aarhus University, you study part-time while working part-time in a company or organisation. This allows you to apply chemical and molecular methods directly to real challenges in drug discovery and development. After the 4-year programme, you will graduate with both solid work experience and a high-quality master’s degree.
