Industrial Master's Program is a practical educational program that brings together master's students from the University of Tartu's Institute of Chemistry and companies looking for a new generation of chemistry specialists.
Industrial Master's Program is not a separate master's program - students enroll in the University of Tartu's Chemistry Master's program. The program is open to 1st-year students of the Chemistry Master's program who wish to combine teaching and professional work.
The program starts in the second semester of the first academic year and concludes with the defense of the master's thesis in June of the second year.
Students in the Industrial Master's Program collaborate with the partner company based on a personalized curriculum, during which the student's academic knowledge is applied to advance important practical research and development directions for the company. During the time spent with the partner, approximately 8–24 hours per week must be dedicated to practical tasks and writing the master's thesis.
Participating in the program and the more extensive internship module requires significant commitment and excludes studying abroad (unless a specific internship abroad is agreed upon with the partner company).
Students accepted into the program cannot apply for other scholarships, except for need-based scholarships and travel support.
