The international programme in Photochemistry and Molecular Materials offers you the opportunity to choose between two curricula: Health and Energy. Both curricula are designed to provide you with advanced training, which will help you develop the skills needed to meet today's challenges by applying photochemistry to create innovative solutions in science and technology.
Health curriculum - Photochemistry for Health
The Health curriculum focuses on the design, synthesis and characterisation of photo-responsive materials and their application in the biomedical field, responding to the need to develop functional materials for innovative diagnostics and therapies. It is ideal for those wishing to work in frontier areas of chemistry and nanomedicine.
What you will learn:
- Application of nanotechnology to medicine for diagnostics and therapy
- Theoretical and computational approaches to study the properties of health-related materials
- Strategies and applications of bioconjugation
This curriculum provides you with the tools for contributing to crucial topics in modern medicine, such as the treatment of chronic diseases, the ageing population and innovation in personalised therapies.
Energy curriculum - Photochemical solutions for energy
The Energy curriculum focuses on the application of photochemistry for the production and optimisation of renewable energies. It is the ideal programme for those who wish to learn more about chemistry and contribute to the development of sustainable energy solutions, playing an active role in building a greener future.
What you will learn:
- Photoactive materials for solar energy conversion.
- Computational techniques for the study of molecules and aggregates in their ground and excited states.
- Molecular and supramolecular nanotechnology
This curriculum gives you the skills required to actively participate in the transition to cleaner energy, addressing the challenges of environmental sustainability and combating climate change.
