In this degree, students will acquire a solid and balanced base of theoretical-practical chemical knowledge, including the research of structures and mechanisms of chemical transformations and the synthesis of new species or substances. They will learn to solve chemical problems effectively by developing constructive thinking and working collaboratively. Likewise, they will develop the necessary skills and abilities to apply the knowledge acquired to solve scientific-technical work and present a critical scientific opinion both in the official languages of our community and in English. Students who take this course will be trained to integrate into the working market in any of the fields related to the qualification. Finally, they will appreciate the importance of research, innovation and technological development in the socioeconomic and cultural progress of society.

UDC holds student mobility agreements with universities and other third-level institutions across four continents. Students are offered several opportunities each year to apply to study abroad in one of these centres (for a single term or for a whole year), with the guarantee that all credits obtained will be duly recognised in their academic record upon their return.
For each round of applications, the University publishes the list of exchange options available to students and, where relevant, the specific conditions associated with each. Students may also apply to the University for funding for international work experience placements and internships.
Work experience placements are accredited in the student's academic record and the European diploma supplement. Students are free to decide in which host company or academic institution within the EHEA they wish to carry out their placement. To assist them in their search, the University has created an online noticeboard with jobs postings and other news.
Work-study placements in A Coruña are arranged by the International Relations Office (ORI) of the UDC in collaboration with the international relations coordinators in the student’s home university. The general entry criteria, rights and obligations of students, and admission and acceptance procedures for the programme, are regulated by the UDC Mobility Policy.
