Course introduction
The aim of the course is to provide the students with knowledge of chemistry at such a level that the acquired knowledge can form the background of advanced studies within chemistry and support related disciplines, e.g. biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biomedicine, physics and chemical engineering.

Qualifications
The students will obtain a broad insight in the subject of chemistry and must be able to independently apply this knowledge in relevant contexts. For instance, they must be able to apply central chemical terms and methods, and they must be able to understand and handle chemistry-containing problems.
