Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences, Master of Science (2 years)

For Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences, Master of Science (2 years), the application deadline is 2026-01-21; tuition fees are 14,018 USD per year.

The Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences offers six specialisation fields: Astronomy and Space Physics, Chemistry of Drug Development, Chemistry of Materials for Sustainable Development, Materials Physics, Mathematics and Statistics, and Theoretical Physics. Each track provides distinct subject depth while sharing the broader scientific foundation of the programme. Students in Astronomy and Space Physics study astrophysical phenomena and plasma physics across scales from solar systems to neutron stars and quasars, with hands-on work in observational techniques, space instrumentation, numerical methods, and large dataset analysis. The Chemistry of Drug Development track covers drug design and synthesis, radiolabelling, targeting strategies, and the identification and quantitation of drug molecules from tissues and metabolite mixtures. The materials-oriented tracks — Materials Physics and Chemistry of Materials for Sustainable Development — address the properties of materials including metals, magnetic and semiconducting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and biomaterials at the nanoscale and molecular level. The programme runs for two years starting in September 2026 and leads to a Master of Science degree. The University of Turku, located in Turku, Finland, offers this programme.
