Master of Science Studies of Chemistry in Switzerland
The program supports highly talented students to perform their Master of Science (MSc) studies in Chemistry, Biochemistry or the Pharmaceutical Sciences at a Swiss University or at one of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology. The stipends amount to CHF 30’000. The program is supported by the Swiss chemical and pharmaceutical industry as well as by a number of private donors. The SCS Foundation actively supports the integration of the Alfred Werner Scholars, offering mentorships, visits at the program-supporting industrial partners (“Meet and Greet” Program; see pages for each Class) and free access to the events of the Swiss Chemical Society. Between 2013 and 2020, 60 students from over 30 countries were granted an Alfred Werner Scholarship. Many of them continued their career in Switzerland; others went abroad again to experience more of this world. Some of the most senior scholars now work for Swiss companies (see Alfred Werner Scholar Gallery).
The scholarships are granted to nominees presented by the institutions that admitted the students to their MSc Programs; The SCS Foundation does not accept applications from individuals.The nominations are reviewed by the Alfred Werner Fund Allocation Committee. The members of the Committee are appointed by the participating companies and academic institutions.
