| Description | The programmes offer a wide variety with regard to programme subjects and are hosted by a wide spectrum of faculties (or departments). The chemistry content in these programmes is significant: The majority of BSc programmes have less than 35 % of chemistry credits, while the share of chemistry at the MSc level is very different among programmes (4–100 %). A big share of the courses, more at the MSc than at the BSc level, is taught in English, which contributes to the Bologna goals. Nevertheless, this share should increase in order to facilitate mobility of students within the EU and across the continent. |
