Chemistry and Molecular Sciences

Chemistry leads us to the building blocks of life and matter, from the nano-level of the atom and molecules to the macroscopic substances of which the universe around us is made of. It leads us from the most simple molecules, from which billions of years ago life developed to the modern nanotechnolgy. We offer a Chemistry and Molecular Sciences degree at University of Bern.
