Studies in polymer chemistry can be started by BSc level lecture course in Polymer Chemistry (KEK 226 Polymeerikemia, (5 cr) in Finnish). We offer also BSc level Research projects (Tutkimusharjoittelu) within the group followed by BSc thesis.
MSc students will be majoring from the Master’s Programme in Materials Research, MATRES (link). We also offer possibilities for exchange students at all levels - please contact the PI's depending on your interests.
The degree requirements for MATRES are shown below. For up-to-date information on teaching schedule visit Sisu-system.
