The Master's Degree Programme for Research Chemists is a degree programme taught in English at the University of Eastern Finland.

The programme is focused on researcher training in order to meet the ever-growing need for top quality chemistry researchers. The programme also serves as an excellent stepping stone for PhD studies.
