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
