Applied Chemistry - a degree course that opens up many opportunities The degree programme Applied Chemistry was established in 2018 and focuses on chemometrics, development and selection of chemical processes and experiments and related computer-based analysis, process optimisation as well as the simulation of experiments. The programme offers comprehensive chemical training with future-oriented aspects such as recycling, use of renewable raw materials, reclamation of raw materials, etc. Students with an excellent academic record may qualify for a so-called merit-based scholarship from the Austrian Chemicals Industry Association FCIO.
