📚About the Program

Everything around you is chemistry. Even you yourself are chemistry. In this Bachelor’s programme, you will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills to understand the world at a molecular level. As a Chemistry student you study processes in detail, down to the molecular or even atomic level. To understand molecules or materials, or to create new applications by changing them. In the Chemistry Bachelor's programme, you learn to research the molecular world from both theory and practice. Through theoretical lectures, you study different areas of chemistry, such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry or biochemistry. During the course of your studies you can choose in which direction you want to specialise. In addition, you will learn the mathematical and physical concepts that are important to investigate and predict molecular processes. Because the world on the nanometer scale can only be studied experimentally, you receive extensive training in the practicalities of chemistry. For example, so that you understand the techniques for studying materials - such as lasers or magnetic fields - in detail. And of course an important part of your studies takes place in the lab; through experiments you get to know and study chemical reactions. Show less
