Ph.D. in fundamental Chemistry is a research-based program that investigates the fundamental principles that underpin chemical processes and reactions. The program typically lasts three to five years and covers topics like thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, kinetics, molecular dynamics, spectroscopy, surface chemistry, and materials science. Students conduct original research to investigate the fundamental properties of molecules and atoms, the interplay of light and matter, and the behavior of chemical systems at the molecular and atomic level. The program frequently includes experimental work in laboratories as well as computational modeling. Graduates often work in academia, research institutions, the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, or sectors such as energy, materials science, and environmental chemistry. Admission typically requires a Master's degree in chemistry, physics, or a related field.
