Physical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry focuses on chemical phenomena at the molecular level with the help of fundamental physical laws. This knowledge forms the basis for most other areas in chemistry, and a physical chemist can work in many different areas of chemistry. This can also be seen from the broad range of courses offered in this study track. Common specialisations are soft materials including surface and colloid chemistry and polymer materials, simulation methods and modelling, and spectroscopic methods with applications in e.g. solar cells or artificial photosynthesis.
