BSc Chemistry at Friedrich Schiller University Jena

Many everyday items like touchscreens, LED lighting and heat patches would be simply impossible without this field of science. It will also play a crucial role in overcoming future challenges, such as ensuring energy supplies, protecting the environment and combatting diseases. Chemistry is the study of the structure, behaviour and transformation of materials and their laws.
