Chemistry

In the Bachelor's Chemistry, you will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills to understand the world at a molecular level, with the ultimate goal to design new molecules and materials.

Chemistry is all around us! It forms the basis of everything you use, whether it is the display of your mobile phone, your deodorant, a painkiller to relieve a nagging headache or the paint that you have chosen to brighten up your room. In this Bachelor's programme you will learn how to design molecules in such a way that they posses the right properties. You will study processes in detail, down to the molecular or even atomic level - to understand molecules and materials, or to create new applications by changing them. That's what makes chemistry research versatile and exciting.

Why should you study chemistry? Perhaps the most important quality you need to study chemistry is curiosity. You are interested in how things work, how reactions take place, how you can convert molecules into each other. In our Bachelor's programme Chemistry in Nijmegen, you learn to study the world at the molecular level using both theory and practice. An important part of your studies takes place in the lab; through experiments you get to know and study chemical reactions.
