Chemistry

Since the discovery of fire during prehistoric times human beings have never ceased to be interested in matter, its properties and its natural or self-induced changes.

Named "chemists" today, specialists in the reactivity of matter pursue the art of experimentation and discovery. The products of their essential knowledge are applied in the fields of nutrition, health, hygiene, transport, sport, construction and environmental protection.

One of the very positive aspects of chemistry training at UNamur is the importance of practical work. They enable us to go deeper into the theory covered in class, making it easier to learn, and highlighting concrete cases. Many practical exercises are carried out in pairs, enabling students to help each other with more complex subjects or certain manipulations.
