Applied Chemistry bachelor degree programme

Do you see waste recycling and reuse as important issues? Maybe you're interested in developing new active agents in the pharmaceutical industry? As a graduate of our Applied Chemistry bachelor programme, you will be able to carry out research in these areas and find groundbreaking solutions to problems facing society today.

Rapid technological advances and the advent of Industry 4.0 mean that today’s chemical industry professionals require additional skills. In-depth knowledge of chemistry is still essential, but employers also expect expertise in process analysis and process management due to the wider application of networked IT systems. You can meet these expectations by becoming an expert in cutting-edge chemistry at IMC Krems.

The degree programme: Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc)

IMC Krems’ Applied Chemistry bachelor degree programme is taught in English and is aligned with the requirements of today’s chemicals industry.

For instance, the curriculum places a strong emphasis on chemometrics – the application of statistical methods in the planning, development and selection of chemical processes and experiments – and the related IT-supported analysis of large volumes of data (big data analysis).

Both of these are becoming key aspects of quality assurance and online process optimisation.

The modelling of molecules and simulation of experiments using computer-aided techniques is also crucial for efficient drug design in the pharmaceuticals industry.

In addition, the innovative programme skilfully combines this with comprehensive training in chemistry as well as groundbreaking topics such as the use of renewable raw materials, and waste recycling and reuse.

By linking chemistry subjects with the study of computer-based methods, students acquire the competences for which industry demand will become stronger and stronger.

Applied chemistry

Interdisciplinary thinking is extremely important in the natural sciences. An approach that draws on knowledge from diverse fields is necessary to efficiently solve problems and find the answers to challenging problems.

When we designed this programme, we made sure that the content of individual subject areas was carefully integrated so that the links between different sub-disciplines are explicitly addressed and students develop an interdisciplinary mindset.

The basic subjects of chemistry are general, analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and biochemistry. Mathematics, computer science, statistics, physics and chemical process engineering are related disciplines that also play an important role in chemistry.

During the bachelor degree, you receive a solid grounding in all these fields, meaning you can specialise in an area that you find particularly interesting when you graduate.

Complex course content is reviewed together in the course of practical exercises which serve to highlight potential applications and place interdisciplinary knowledge in the foreground. Students work in small groups, which facilitates close contact between students and lecturers and ensures personal support.

The Applied Chemistry degree programme is a direct response to the changing skills profile of chemical industry professionals and satisfies the new requirements faced by the industry by means of practical training. We guarantee you a fixed workspace in the laboratories in each semester of this innovative degree. This enables us to integrate the content of different courses, which is key factor. You aren’t placed on any waiting lists or held back, and can graduate on schedule after six semesters.

Programme director Uwe Rinner

A formula for success: theoretical knowledge + practical experience

The programme is built on three pillars.

The basics

Semesters 1-4

At the beginning of the programme you do courses covering the basic subjects of chemistry and related disciplines. You receive a solid foundation in general, analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, as well as biochemistry.

You’ll also study mathematics, computer science, statistics, physics and chemical process engineering. The theoretical knowledge you acquire is consolidated in the course of practical exercises, and you receive hands-on training in the chemistry lab.

Practical experience

Semester 5

You complete a 22-week internship in semester 5, giving you the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge you have acquired in your lectures. We provide you with support before and during your internship: we’ll help you to select your placements and offer you special coaching sessions.

You can do your internship in Austria or abroad. Choose whether you want to gain experience of working at a university or in the chemicals industry – it’s up to you. IMC Krems has partnerships with internationally respected research institutes and prominent chemical companies, meaning that you can benefit from this well-established network.

The internship makes up the practical element of your bachelor paper and also helps many students on their way to building a subsequent career at their chosen research institute or a company.

Electives

Semester 6

Towards the end of your degree you will study familiar topics in more depth and opt for one of the two electives: Instrumental Analysis and Chemometrics or Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

The Instrumental Analysis and Chemometrics elective covers the statistical analysis of measurements, multidimensional data analysis and experimental design. So you’re ideally prepared for solving problems related to product safety, and environmental, pharmaceutical, forensic and polymer analysis.

In the Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry elective, you acquire advanced skills in computer-aided simulation of reactions and chemical processes. This expertise is especially important in the pharmaceutical industry and essential for the production of fine chemicals.
