Would you like to make a difference through science? To work on experiments that lead to the development of new products? Sign up for Chemistry at HAN and get a solid start to a rewarding career.
In this profession you focus on the composition of materials and how their chemistry changes under certain conditions. For example, you learn how to develop and analyse new products such as food, medicines or plastics.

You get a solid theoretical foundation in all the current research topics in chemistry and at the same time you dive straight into practice in the lab. This means working in groups of students on projects that deal with real problems in the chemistry field. And because HAN University of Applied Sciences collaborates with companies and research institutes in the Netherlands and abroad, you get to work on cutting-edge research projects. This gives you invaluable experience as well as problem-solving and communication skills that put you in high demand on the labour market.

During your studies, you will have access to excellent lab facilities. All the basics as well as advanced apparatus are available. What's more, HAN even has specialised nanotechnological labs. Here you can do research on the interface between biomedical technology and chemistry.
