Chemistry

... looks into questions such as ...

 
  • How can so many different materials originate from a handful of elements?
  • How do life processes work at the micro level?
  • How can energy-saving processes be optimised – regardless whether in the car or in the mobile phone?
  • How does one develop new drugs?
  • How can new materials be discovered that would make power plant turbines or microchips more efficient?
  • With the degree, you have quite a few options later on.
