The projects are in general done in a group of students.  The exception is the Mater Thesis. 

The project work of the bachelor module is intended to give insight into chemistry as a tool applied to a biological, geological, chemical or technological problems.

Analytical techniques will most often be used for such purposes, and the techniques should be used professionally.

In the master program project work is intended to give insight into models and methods and research in chemistry. Understanding will in most cases be a key word.

Project work is concluded by a written project report, which is presented and finally defended. Each report has to include an abstract in English or in Danish if the report is in English.

Most projects in chemistry are experimental. The students are informed about possible dangers in the specific laboratory e.g. handling and correct disposal of poisonous substances/compounds or devices to be handled with special attention.

For the master modules some examples of projects are given below.
