Specialisations
About specialisations
In the bachelor's programmes in Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry, you are required to choose a specialisation during your second year of study.

Specialisations for Chemistry
Below you will find links to course structure diagrams for the Chemistry specialisations. Courses that are part of the specialisations are marked in purple, compulsory courses in blue, and elective courses in green. You can read about the course content in the course catalogue.
In some specialisations, you can choose between two or more courses, and you must select one of them. For elective courses, the choice is entirely up to you, but suggestions may be provided to support the specialisation. If you are still in doubt, it can also be a good idea to ask your supervisor (bachelor project or thesis) for suggestions. Always remember to check the academic prerequisites before deciding on a course.
It is possible to change specialisation track between the bachelor's and master's programmes — talk to your programme coordinator or supervisor.
Bachelor specialisations:
- Physical Chemistry
- Materials Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Chemistry w. teaching competence (only in Danish)
Master specialisations:
- Biophysical Chemistry
- Physical/theoretical Chemistry
- Atmospheric and Climate Chemistry
- Materials Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Chemistry w. teaching competence (only in Danish)
Please note that the specialisation with teaching competence is not an official minor subject, but rather a combination of courses designed to meet the minimum academic requirements for teaching Chemistry and Biotechnology at upper secondary school level. If you wish to study Chemistry with an official minor subject (e.g. Physics, Mathematics, or Biology), you must apply for the minor programmes during your second year of study.
