Chemistry, Science and Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is designed for students who seek rigorous scientific education in chemistry, mathematics, and engineering principles. The programme combines fundamental scientific theory with practical application, research experience, and technological innovation.

An interdisciplinary foundation in Chemistry

The curriculum provides students with a strong foundation in core areas of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and materials chemistry. These studies are complemented by courses in physics, mathematics, computational methods, and material sciences, enabling students to approach scientific problems from interdisciplinary perspectives.

Students are encouraged to develop theoretical understanding and practical competence through hands-on experimentation, collaborative projects, and research-oriented coursework. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, innovation, and scientific communication, preparing graduates for future academic and industrial environments.

Research and innovation

An important feature of the programme is the integration of research into undergraduate education. Students have opportunities to participate in research training within university research groups or industries, gaining direct exposure to modern scientific methods and emerging technologies. Areas of research include, but are not limited to, sustainable chemistry, biomaterials, nanotechnology, and advanced functional materials offering students to explore research training and innovation.

Flexibility and pathways for advanced studies

During the first year, students’ complete common foundational studies in natural sciences and mathematics before progressing toward more specialized chemistry-focused studies. The programme's flexible structure allows students to tailor their academic profile through elective and minor studies aligned with their interests and career goals.

Graduates of the programme are well-prepared to continue toward advanced master's studies in chemistry, materials science, and related disciplines. The degree also provides strong preparation for careers in research institutions, high-technology industries, pharmaceuticals, environmental consulting, and international scientific organizations.

By combining scientific rigor, interdisciplinary education, and research-driven learning, the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry prepares students to become innovators capable of addressing the scientific and technological challenges of the future.
