Our vision is to conduct chemical research at an international acknowledged level within selected research topics, and to be an attractive place of study providing modern research-based teaching. Furthermore, the department will engage in services that benefit our regional and national communities.
The plan for the next five years combines continuity and change. It reinforces and extends our commitment to international standards of research focusing on three areas:

• nanoscience
• molecular bioscience
• petroleum, natural gas and biofuels

It also provides the foundation for high-quality education in a student centered environment.

Our bachelor's programme is based on synthesis, analysis and physical measurements in fundamental disciplines in chemistry, combined with mathematics, physics and biology.

Our master's programme provides you the opportunity to combine your own interests with specialized knowledge within selected fields. As a graduate in chemistry your knowledge and skills are highly sought for in the labor market.
