Bachelor in Chemistry

Chemistry is the science that studies the composition, structure, properties, and transformations of matter, forming the basis for understanding chemical reactions and the behavior of substances at the molecular level. Students typically study organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry, along with laboratory coursework that develops practical skills in synthesis, measurement, and chemical analysis. The discipline combines theoretical study of chemical principles with extensive hands-on laboratory work, training students to design experiments, interpret data, and understand the chemical processes underlying materials, biological systems, and industrial products.
