The Department of Chemistry has a tradition of arranging school visits for upper secondary and primary school students, providing engaging and relevant information about our study programs. The offer for lower secondary school students includes participation in "What do YOU want to be?" ("Ka vil DU bli?" (In Norwegian only))

At ENT3R UiB, upper secondary school students receive science training in mathematics, physics, and chemistry from enthusiastic science students. Everyone is welcome, regardless of academic level.
