We welcome you to the “M.Sc. in Cosmetic Chemistry” of the School of Chemistry at Democritus University of Thrace, which has been operating since the academic year 2022-2023. As a Director, my vision is this top-tier Cosmetic Chemistry M.Sc. program enables you to combine your knowledge of science with art and business aspects to develop cosmetic and personal care products.  This M.Sc. program builds strong foundations of interpersonal connections between industry experts, faculty personnel and students, and bridge disciplines, allowing you to thrive at the frontiers of research in the cosmetic chemistry. Moreover, it blends academic rigor with actual cosmetic chemistry’s challenges. This rigorous curriculum is engineered around the business and science.

It provides strong experience with the fundamentals with a focus on various aspects including leveraging chemistry concepts from raw materials to finished products. You will use scientific equipment to create products and develop an in-depth understanding of the industry’s evolving landscape, and work directly with industry experts. To this end, you will gain hands-on experience and build valuable relationships. The program also explores additional key topics including the product development process, marketing, cosmetic chemistry challenges, cosmetics’ quality systems. This dynamic environment develops critical, high-demand professional skills. Thus, this exceptional educational experience will provide you a competitive advantage in the cosmetic chemistry market.

On behalf of everyone involved I wish you every success. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve your goals!
