Everything around you is chemistry. Even you yourself are chemistry. In this Bachelor’s programme, you will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills to understand the world at a molecular level. The ultimate goal is to design new molecules and materials in such a way that they possess the desired properties.
What will you learn?
Chemists are curious people. They want to understand a process in detail, up to the molecular or even atomic level. Moreover, they are creative: always looking for ways to improve the properties of molecules or even design one from scratch. To be able to do that, you need to understand the demands from the users of the material. This requires a flexible mindset and communicative skills.
As the world at the nanometer scale can only be studied by doing experiments, you’ll get extensive training in the practical aspects of Chemistry. You’ll also get physics courses, for a thorough understanding of the techniques that make use of light or magnetic fields. This makes an excellent preparation for a career in science. Most of our students ultimately end up in large chemical, pharma or food companies.

If you have a non-Dutch Secondary School degree, your previous education will be assessed on an individual basis by the Admissions Officer of the Faculty of Science to determine whether it is of sufficient level. If the level is sufficient, then you could be directly admissible or additional conditions may apply (such as taking an English or Mathematics test).
For Chemistry, you can prove your English language proficiency by obtaining one of the following diplomas: • A Dutch VWO diploma; • An International Baccalaureate Diploma (diploma programme) • A European Baccalaureate Diploma, with English Language 2 or English Language 1 • GCE A-Levels • A diploma equivalent to, or higher than the Dutch VWO diploma, with English as the only language of instruction, obtained at an institution in an EU/EEA member state, Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or the United States of America.
IELTS Academic: overall score at least 6.5, sub-scores at least 6.0, TOEFL iBT: total score at least 90, sub-scores at least 20, Cambridge English Qualifications: C1 Advanced (CAE) or C2 Proficiency (CPE), scores ≥ C.
Application Deadline: Non-EU/EEA students - 1 April; EU/EEA students - 1 May (recommended deadline for assistance with finding housing) and 1 July (final application deadline).
