Advanced Cosmetic Sciences (ACS) forms chemists that can operate in cosmetic companies in the design, production, analysis, and certification of cosmetic products.

This Second Cycle Degree Programme trains professionals able to grasp the emerging challenges arising from the current international regulations and aimed at the production of more effective and intrinsically safer cosmetics with reference to their entire life cycle.

ACS has an interdisciplinary spirit, aimed at providing a theoretical and practical training on the scientific and technological aspects of cosmetic products.

The programme is characterized by theoretical-practical courses related to the study of natural substances and of bioactive molecules used in cosmetics, to the chemistry and to the formulation of cosmetics, to the ingredients and formulations analysis. The anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the skin will also be studied, together with the microbiological, functional and toxicological control of cosmetic products.... [-]

During the past century scientific research has been characterized by a progressive specialization and an increasingly accentuated division of the subjects under study. On the contrary, many of the problems relevant to society are multifaceted and their study requires a certain capacity for general vision and the connection of ideas. In this context, a postgraduate training in Science and Chemical Technology (CyTQ) provides the tools and training necessary to achieve a global vision of chemistry and related areas as well as their industrial processes.

The chemist with interdisciplinary training is qualified to develop his research / professional work beyond the borders of traditional fields, being able to collaborate with researchers / professionals from other disciplines other than chemistry and its technology and contributing as added values ​​its solid formation, its understanding of chemical processes and reactions in diverse fields and their ability to transfer ideas from one field to others such as biology, food, medicine, energy, the environment and materials, among others....

The main objective of this master is to offer the student advanced training, specialized and multidisciplinary, aimed at promoting their initiation in research tasks in the field of theoretical and computational chemistry. Computational modeling on a molecular scale has been constituted, over the last twenty years, as a tool that covers, in a transversal way, many areas of knowledge: from biochemistry to new materials, going through all the disciplines of chemistry and emerging areas as nanoscience.

Computational simulations have become an important branch that gives rise to a third pillar of science that allows theoretical and experimental studies to overcome the limitations inherent in them. This has led to a growing demand for skilled personnel trained in these fields, a demand that not only comes from the academic world, but also from the industry: more and more companies consider modeling at a molecular scale as an essential tool....

The Master's Degree in Chemical and Industrial Chemistry Research Has an interuniversity character and is taught by the universities of Santiago de Compostela (USC, coordinator), A Coruña (UDC) and Vigo (UVI), with the collaboration of the Official College of Chemistry of Galicia.

This Master's degree includes a research orientation (five specialties) and a professional orientation, with a duration of one year (60 ECTS).

Its objective is to provide its students with the knowledge to obtain a solid base in advanced chemistry and in instrumental chemical and biological techniques that allow them to orient themselves towards research or towards professionalization in relevant topics of chemical science and technology....

The program aims to extend students' knowledge gained at the Bachelor degree studies and to prepare top-level experts in fundamental chemical disciplines - inorganic, organic, macromolecular, physical and analytical chemistry. Students gain deep theoretical knowledge of the above disciplines and also practical experience in the field of synthesis, isolation, and characterization of chemical substances. The program also aims to provide students good orientation in chemical problems in a broad context. Compulsory courses included in the program extend general knowledge of chemistry oriented disciplines. Optional courses allow students to specialize in a particular area according to their choice....
