Master's Programme in Peptide- and Protein Chemistry, 120 ECTS

The Master’s programme in Peptide- and Protein Chemistry is aimed at students holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry or a corresponding degree in Technical or Natural Science and is given jointly by the Department of Neurochemistry and the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. The aim of the programme is to provide students with a broad insight into the chemistry, chemical properties, functions and applications of peptides and proteins. Central parts of the programme are in-depth knowledge of biochemical methods, solid-state peptide synthesis and spectroscopy of biomolecules as well as structure-function relationships and mechanisms of action of peptides and proteins.

The programme consists of 45 credits in compulsory courses, at least three specialized courses, optional courses, 15/30 credits and a Degree Project, 30/45 credits.

The programme provides a good platform for further graduate studies or for a professional career, both in Sweden and internationally.
