2nd Year – Dissertation Project

The second school year is intended to provide students with a specialization in one of several foreseen areas, training them to develop projects and acquire technical skills using hands-on advanced training, having direct contact with top-notch modern methodologies and instrumentation in laboratory environment. To achieve this goal, students will carry out a ‘Dissertation Project in an area entirely of your choice, totalizing 57 ECTS, at FCUL’s laboratories or, alternatively out, in a laboratory of national or international institutions or companies (under the Erasmus+ program) with whom collaboration protocols have been celebrated. In the 1st semester of the second academic year, students will have to present the ‘Research Seminary’ (3 ECTS), aiming to structure and plan the advanced topic that they propose to develop during the dissertation project. The table below summarizes the UCs planned for the two semesters of the second academic year of the 2nd Cycle of Studies in Chemistry:
