Chemistry
Educational Objectives of the Degree
The training of graduates that combines a solid formation in Chemistry (its fundamental concepts and applications), a modern vision of both this knowledge and of professional responsibility in carrying out the profession in which special emphasis is laid on forms of production that respect the environment, are sustainable and generate products that contribute to progress and wellbeing, and a complementary formation in Biosciences (focused on the structure, properties and functions of biomolecules) that enables them to work in an industrial setting in which these biotechnologies have an increasingly more important role.
|
Students at whom the course is aimed
Students who with an interest in life sciences, mathematics, physics and computer sciences and with a great intellectual curiosity who wish to acquire a solid formation as scientists that will enable then to form part, as future professionals, of the world of design, synthesis and analysis of products for their application in very diverse fields.
