Bachelor in Chemistry and Biotechnology (BSc) - Constructor

The bachelor in Chemistry and Biotechnology (BSc) offers chemistry modules that include organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry. Students are also taught the relevant aspects of mathematics, engineering, and industrial practice.

The focus of biotechnology in this bachelor in Chemistry and Biotechnology (BSc) is to learn how the industry can take advantage of biocatalysts and biomolecules in order to contribute to a more sustainable future. Biorefining, i.e. the use of renewable rather than fossil resources, is another major aspect of CBT; this will introduce students to the concept and practice of the “circular economy”.

Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions: their composition, structure, behavior, and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances. Biotechnology is the application of biology to the solution of real-life challenges, where an element of profit is a prerequisite. The two disciplines are connected by their molecular approach and by their vast commercial importance.

The bachelor in Chemistry and Biotechnology (BSc) equips students with the knowledge, research techniques, and problem-solving skills necessary for a career in chemistry and/or biotechnology, and for further studies at the Master's or Ph.D. level.
