Welcome to the Master’s Programme in Chemistry at Uppsala University!
Whether you are a Bachelor’s student from Uppsala University or an international student, we are very happy to welcome you to the Chemistry Department!
This short introduction will cover important information about Registration, the MER reception and some General tips to help you get started.
Registration
Registration will take place this year on 25 August at 10:20 AM in room C8:301 at Campus BMC.
Registration is mandatory in order to start the programme and is also a great opportunity to meet your fellow coursers. The Head fo the Chemistry Master’s Programme will be there to introduce themselves, as well as some members of our student board. You can recognize us by our burgundy hoodies and burgundy lab coats, and you are more than welcome to contact if you have any questions. You can also find information about who is on the board under the “About Us” tab.
MER-Reception
The Master- and Exchange Reception (MER) is a welcoming event organised by the Uppsala Union of Engineering and Science Students (UTN) for Master’s and exchange students within science and technology programmes.
The MER reception is a great opportunity to meet other new students from Sweden and around the world, make new friends, and get introduced to student life in Uppsala. The reception is followed by several activities where you can get to know Uppsala, meet other students, and learn more about life as a student in Sweden.
If you are new to Uppsala, we highly recommend taking part in MER! It is a fun and easy way to meet people outside your programme and start building your social network before the semester gets fully underway.
You can find more information about the programme and activities on the UTN website.
General tips
Finding Your Way Around Campus
Whether your Master’s programme is based at BMC or the Ångström Laboratory, it is easy to get a little lost at first, and finding the right lecture hall can sometimes be tricky!
Many students use MazeMap to find their way around campus. Simply enter the location of your next class in the search bar, and it will help you navigate to the correct building or lecture hall. It is a great way to get familiar with the campus before heading to class, especially at BMC, which can feel a little like a maze at times!
We look forward to welcoming you to the Chemistry Department and hope you have a great start to your Master’s studies!
