Content

The student is able to recognize and name typical polymeric compounds. The student knows the most important chemical and physical properties of polymers. The student can select (modern) analysis methods to analyze macromolecular connections. The student knows the most important synthesis methods of polymers. The student understands and can choose from suitable processing methods to integrate polymer materials into a specific application. The student is introduced to the latest developments in the field of chemistry and technology of polymer materials. The student is able to recognize typical macromolecular problems, analyze them and then solve them. The student gains insight into the multidisciplinary character of macromolecular chemistry and technology.

Learning outcomes
Bachelor of Chemistry
  •  EC 

    • EC 1: A graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry programme has knowledge and insight into the structure of matter, the interactions between building blocks of matter, the interaction between matter and energy, and the subsequent relationship between structure and properties

  •  EC 

    • EC 2: A graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry programme has to that end an extensive knowledge of the main branches of Chemistry, is familiar with their logic and their scientific methodology, and can apply them in solving a chemical problem, in particular:

    - analytical chemistry

    - inorganic chemistry

    - physical and theoretical chemistry

    - organic chemistry

    - the principles of biochemistry and macromolecular chemistry

    - the living world on molecular, cellular, genetic and organismal level, as far as a graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry programme for the option Biochemistry is concerned

    - elements of physical chemistry in the field of inorganic, organic and theoretical chemistry, as far as a graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry programme for the option Material Chemistry and partly for the optien Education is concerned

  •  EC 

    • EC 3:A graduate of the Bachelor ofChemistry programme has knowledge ofand insight inrelated fields of science such as physics, biology, geology and engineering sciences. He or she is able to communicate adequately with representatives of these fields.

  •  EC 

    • EC 7: A graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry is able to independently and in a self-managing manner acquire knowledgeand insight inchemistry and related fields, which was not covered in the programme.

  •  EC 

    • EC 8: A graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistrytakes intoaccountthe necessity of the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach in analyzing chemical and biochemical questions.

  •  EC 

    • EC 10: A graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry is able to report and to present orally and in writing in Dutch and in English and to take an argumented point of view regarding a topic from his/her discipline. He or she is able to communicate with colleagues and non-colleagues.

  •  EC 

    • EC 11: A graduate of the Bachelor of Chemistry is able to efficiently retrieve and collect data and to select and process from this data the international relevant information.  

 
Master of Teaching in Health Sciences
  •  EC 

    • 5.4  The educational master is a domain expert HEALTH SCIENCES: the EM can independently and critically conduct literature research, formulate and operationalise a research question (-hypothesis), collect research data, process the obtained research results, interpret and report orally and in writing.
