Mobility

Mobility: Masters programme in Chemistry at the Interface with Biology and Materials Science involves carrying out a Project for Induction to Research (15 ECTS) at CiQUS (being part of the research group chosen for writing the Master鈥檚 Thesis or, preferably, in another laboratory) or at an external institution or a company.

CiQUS will promote student mobility by particularly encouraging them to carry out this Project for Induction to Research at internationally renowned foreign Research Centres so they extend their scientific training in multicultural backgrounds by conducting cutting-edge research.

In order to facilitate student mobility, bilateral agreements will be established within the context of ERASMUS+ programme with foreign universities with a view to allow easier exchange of postgraduate students.

At present, an agreement has been signed with the Ecole Sup猫rieure De Physique Et De Chimie Industrielles De La Ville De Paris (France) for the 2017/2021 period within the ERASMUS+ programme, and agreements are being negotiated with Swansea University (UK) and the University of Nottingham (UK).

Student mobility is regulated by the 鈥淩egulations on inter-university exchanges鈥�. The External Relations Office manages national (SICUE), European (ERASMUS) and non-EU (exchanges with Latinamerican countries or English-speaking countries) exchange programmes:

International Portal

Internships

The student must carry out a Project for Induction to Research (15 ECTS) that he/she can choose according to his/her interests and following his/her tutor鈥檚 advice.

This project is aimed at acquiring practical knowledge before undertaking the main research project of the Masters course.

The student will be able to develop this project:

- In a research laboratory at the institution (not necessarily with the same group of people with which he/she will carry out his/her Master鈥檚 Thesis in order to promote multidisciplinary training).
- In other research laboratories at a national or international level (international mobility).
- In Master鈥檚 partner companies (cross-sectoral mobility).

The scientific tutor and the Master coordinator will give the student advice on choosing the Project for Induction to Research. The content of the training programme will depend on the project assigned to the student but it will include, in any case, advanced experimental training, exposure to a real research environment in an academic or industrial context, tools for project planning and execution, results analysis and interpretation, preparing a scientific report, etc.

Master鈥檚 thesis: The Masters course has an eminently research profile. Thus, it includes an extensive Master鈥檚 Thesis (30 ECTS) to be written on one of CiQUS active research lines.

The Master鈥檚 Thesis comprises the design, planning and development of a unique research project and involves preparing a project in line with a work plan signed by the student's supervisor, in such a way that the student will have to:

- Gather bibliographical documentation on the background and current state of the subject proposed for the project.
- Prepare a proposal for objectives.
- Conduct experiments.
- Process data.
- Compile, publicly present and defend the most relevant results and findings

This master鈥檚 degree is mainly taught by Principal Investigators (PIs) of the Centre for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials () who are also professors from different 奇趣腾讯分分彩 departments (mainly from the Faculty of Chemistry) with a solid research background and teaching experience. In fact, the teaching staff includes 4 European Research Council (ERC) grantees and other internationally renowned scientists in the fields covered by the Master programme.

For some specific courses, we will count with the participation of professors and experts from other 奇趣腾讯分分彩 areas, as well as with prestigious international visiting professors.
