B.A. curriculum requires 124 credit points. The first two semesters are used to acquire strong foundations in mathematics, physics and computer science, as well as the basics of chemistry. The next semesters are used to broaden knowledge in the different branches of chemistry - physical and theoretical, organic, inorganic and analytical. In the last two semesters the students may deepen their studies according to their interests. The curriculum is also composed of basic and advanced laboratory work and offers participation in short research projects.
Instruction is conducted in Hebrew.
Students can also pursue a dual degree program, leading to a joint degree from the Department of Chemistry and another Technion Department. Cooperative teaching and research programs are carried out primarily with the Departments of Biology and Materials Engineering. Two three-year programs are offered jointly by the Departments of Chemistry and Biology , leading to a single degree. The three-year program leads to a B.A. degree in Environmental Sciences. The degree is intended to provide the needed education in the rapidly expanding field of environmental science.
