About the Graduate Program
The Graduate Program in Chemistry at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) was created in 1972, shortly after the first undergraduate class completed its course.
Since its inception, the Institute has offered a unified Graduate Program comprising two courses: the Master's and Doctoral degrees. The Program has developed into a nationally recognized center for research and advanced academic training.
The Master's program aims to enhance the scientific and professional competence of its graduates through rigorous academic activities and experimental research projects, culminating in a dissertation.
The Doctoral program seeks to provide students with broader and more comprehensive knowledge of Chemistry, emphasizing deeper scientific and cultural training, critical evaluation and independent research development.
The Program welcomes Brazilian and international students interested in pursuing graduate studies in Chemistry.
