Chemistry Plus B.Sc. at RWTH Aachen University

From medicines to functional foods, smartphone displays, and biofuels, chemistry forms the basis for many products in modern life. It provides knowledge about the structure of all the substances that surround us—from the smallest particles, atoms, and molecules, to everyday products such as detergents, to very large molecules such as human DNA. Chemistry students not only learn how substances are structured, they also learn how they are synthesized and how their properties and functions can be determined.
