What you study

Chemistry deals with the composition, properties and behavior of substances in different states of matter and under a range of environmental conditions. Research and applications in the field affect many areas, including health, food, clothing, construction, pharmaceuticals, environmental quality, energy and more. The studies provide theoretical knowledge along with hands-on research experience. The curriculum includes foundational courses, followed by advanced courses in fields such as organic, inorganic, analytical, physical and theoretical chemistry; nanomaterials and nanotechnology; green energy; molecular biochemistry; molecular electronics; drug development and more.

After the degree

What graduates work as

  • Chemistrymost commonResearching and developing concepts, theories, and methods in chemistry, and applying this knowledge to develop new knowledge or products, conduct quality control, and control processes.
  • Academic Teaching of Natural SciencesPreparing and delivering lectures and classes at institutions of higher education. Conducting research and writing academic articles and books.
  • Teaching in secondary schoolTeaching at the secondary-school level, excluding the teaching of subjects intended to prepare students for work in specific fields of employment.
