Chemistry, BSc           

    Objectives and Perspectives

    Bachelor of Chemistry degrees are awarded to students who have a good grounding in the core areas of
    chemistry: inorganic, organic, physical, biological and analytical chemistry; and in addition the necessary
    background in mathematics and physics, while also possessing basic knowledge in several other more
    specialized areas of chemistry. They build up practical skills in chemistry during laboratory courses in
    inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. The development of generic skills in the context of chemistry
    which are applicable in many other contexts and attaining a standard of knowledge and competence will
    give them access to second cycle course units or degree programs (such as MSc and further on PhD).
    Such graduate will have the ability to gather and interpret relevant scientific data and make judgments that
    include reflection on scientific and ethical issues. They will communicate information, ideas, problems and
    solutions to informed audiences and have skills which fit them for entry-level graduate employment in the
    general workplace, including the chemical industry.

    Background

    The Institute of Chemistry consists of five departments (Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Physical
    Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Colloid and Environmental Chemistry and Applied Chemistry) and two
    academic research groups (homogeneous catalysis; carbohydrate chemistry) with more than 50 staff
    members of high scientific and teaching qualifications. The Institute is equipped with state-of-the-art
    scientific instruments (for instance, several NMR and mass spectrometers, X-ray diffractometer, UV-VIS
    and IR spectrophotometers, GC and LC instruments also coupled with MS, etc)
