Degree in Chemistry

Modern chemistry is the study of the composition, structure and properties of substances together with their transformations. In the course of their work chemists use a wide range of resources, from sophisticated quantum mechanical models of matter to highly specialized experimental work in the laboratory. Chemistry plays a key role in the modern world and is one of the branches of science that contributes most to the quality of life in developed countries. Nowadays very few areas of science, technology or industry do not involve chemistry either directly or indirectly.
