Chemistry is the fundamental science which studies the structure and behaviour of materials and the changes that they undergo at molecular level. The goal of the Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry taught in English is to produce competent and qualified professionals who are able to work in the industry as well as in educational or research centres.

The Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry taught in English provides you with the tools to understand the features and the transformation of substances by theory, problem resolution and laboratory practices. Moreover, you will acquire the ability to develop and control compounds and chemical procedures in many productive sectors fundamental to society such as food, health, the environment and new materials.

There is a growing need for chemistry professionals with a high level of proficiency in English not only in the chemical industries, most of which are multinational, but also in research, where English is the most widely used language.

If you are interested in studying Chemistry in Catalonia or Spain, the URV is the only university that guarantees you a full four-year Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry in English. All classes are in English.

The content and price of the Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry taught in English are the same as the one taught in Catalan. The only difference between both Bachelor's Degrees in Chemistry is the language of instruction.
