Department introduction

Students learn about a diverse range of novel materials, chemicals, and other substances. The curriculum has been designed to allow students to study basic theory and experiment in a parallel fashion, helping them to experience the excitement of chemistry and discover its diversity and depth.

In the first and second years, study focuses on the six basic experimental courses. From their third year, students advance to more specialized studies and experimentation in one of the Department’s two main courses: Material Chemistry or Life Chemistry. In their final year, they undertake graduation research to complete their studies, selecting themes ranging from the fundamentals of chemistry to cutting-edge research.
