Overview

Ghent University's Chemistry ((Bio)Organic and Polymer Chemistry) focuses on molecules: how to synthesize and understand them, how to adapt them and use them for biological applications, and how to bring them together to form macromolecular entities and polymers. We start from experimental and analytical organic chemistry (carbon chemistry), with attention to the latest developments and techniques, from modified DNA to renewable or "smart" plastic materials. (Bio) Organic and polymer chemistry prepares you for a career as a chemist in the sector of fine chemicals, in pharma and life science or in the polymer industry.
