Summary

Research project within one of our laboratories in chemistry at SCGC. Duration: 28 days

Content

The practical education at the master in Molecular and Biological Chemistry is taking place in research laboratories at ISIC or elsewhere. Students are expected to contact the research group leaders to find a project. After project 1a, students are now getting insights in research.

Project Ib can be done in one or several laboratories of SCGC. It can be done in another laboratory at EPFL, but with a SCGC co-supervisor. Having done at least one semester of master studies is required before doing project Ib.
