BA/BS in Chemistry

The chemistry bachelor's examines how molecules and materials determine processes from everyday objects to the human body, studying them down to the molecular and atomic level to understand existing phenomena and design new applications. Theoretical lectures cover areas such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry and biochemistry, with room to choose a specialisation as the degree progresses. Mathematical and physical concepts needed to investigate and predict molecular processes are taught alongside extensive practical training, including techniques such as lasers and magnetic fields for studying materials. Laboratory work forms a significant part of the degree, where students carry out experiments to learn about chemical reactions directly.
