Program Overview
During the first year, classes concentrate on the basics of chemistry and biochemistry, as well as on the tools of mathematics and physics. During the second and third years, students tackle more specific subjects such as organic reactions, physical chemistry, coordination chemistry, and analytic methods. The third and final year includes optional modules which enable them to deepen their knowledge of different fields such as synthesis, biochemistry, modeling, and chemical engineering, and to prepare for the Master's program of their choice. The program places great importance on practical work: throughout the studies, at least one day a week is set aside for laboratory work or projects.
