View all PhDs in:More information about the Natural Sciences Discipline
Forming the basis for applied sciences, natural sciences are concerned with the study of the universe and the rules of nature. Biology, chemistry and physics are among the major study areas of the discipline. The distinctions between the natural science disciplines are not always rigid, because they share a number of cross-discipline fields. As a result, study fields such as biochemistry and geophysics are also considered as natural sciences.
The Natural Sciences degrees provide students with knowledge on a challenging and diverse range of subjects from across the sciences. This multi- and interdisciplinary study help students build a solid foundation in core science subjects. Therefore, the natural sciences degrees will especially be appealing for those students with an aptitude for science who would like to keep their options open. Natural Sciences graduates will have a broad range of scientific knowledge, as well as skills such as communication, numeracy and information technology. They are well qualified for a wide variety of scientific careers such as research and development, marketing and management in the biotechnology, chemical, pharmaceutical, business and manufacturing.

PhD in Chemistry and Materials Technology (specialization in Chemistry and Materials Technology)
The PhD course in Chemistry and Materials Technology is aimed at studying chemical, physical or biological properties of materials with special focus on understanding the restrictive conditions within the phases of preparation, characterization, behaviour and the usable properties of inorganic and organic materials. The knowledge acquired will be further developed in the fields of technological processing and the optimization of the usable and protective properties of compounds, materials and products. In the course of their studies, PhD students will gain experience in creating concepts underlying experimental design including statistical data processing. They will learn in detail about the modern methods of exploring the structure and properties of materials and they will also acquire further knowledge about the practical applications of advanced technologies and programme products.
