Module A0.2 - PreCourse "Chemistry"
To have a good start in the M.Sc. programme basic knowledge in chemistry is very important. It will be needed for the courses Human biology I+II but also for many specialization modules in the 2nd and 3rd semester.
Please, take advantage of our self-assessment test to see if you should participate in this course. The test can be found here. (Use the login and password you got when you were admitted.
