Bachelor of Chemistry (180 ECTS) Bachelor of Science

Students are obliged to take up the groups 'Basic Science', 'Chemical Courses', 'Humane Courses' and 'Professional Skills'. Next, students can choose one of the elective subjects.
(After the first bachelor stage of chemistry a direct transition to the second bachelor stage of biochemistry and biotechnology is possible).

The POC developed for each minor subject of the Bachelor Programme a standard programme. For each Bachelor Programme, three of these minor subjects get priority in the schedulling of lectures, exercises, practicals and excursions: see http://wet.kuleuven.be/apps/modeltraject/
