The Bachelor’s degree program is largely based on principles of research-based learning and research-led teaching. In addition to acquiring a strong base-knowledge understanding of technical chemistry, the program strongly emphasizes the skills required to successfully address and solve problems. As teamwork is a large part of the program, students work together in small groups, learning how to evaluate and solve theoretical and real-world problems, as well as how to interpret and analyze measured values.
The curriculum for the Chemistry program includes a combination of subfields, providing students with insight into a wide range of professions. Graduates are highly sought after and after successfully completing studies, graduates can pursue a variety of careers, including:
After completing an undergraduate degree, students can continue their education by pursuing an advanced degree:
