Chemistry is a vast science that deals with macroscopic and microscopic properties of material compounds of all kinds, inorganic, organic and biological, and also with all aspects of change and reactivity. This discipline has evolved into a science of great scope that covers everything from the submicroscopic world of atoms and molecules to the field of materials that we use on a daily basis, constituting an essential part of the education of many scientists and engineers.

Non se contemplan.

Dado que no se exige ninguna formación previa específica, los alumnos pueden ser admitidos en la titulación de Grado en Química si reúnen los requisitos de acceso que establece la ley y puesto que no se establece un límite de plazas, para el ingreso en el Grado en Química se recomienda que la formación del alumno sea de perfil científico-tecnológico. Dentro de ese perfil, además de la química, resulta recomendable haber cursado materias de matemáticas, biología y física.

Cualidades deseables del futuro estudiante del Grado de Química:

- Capacidad de trabajo
- Capacidad de razonamiento
- Capacidad de obtener, interpretar y aplicar conocimientos
- Espíritu científico
- Capacidad de análisis crítico
- Habilidad en la resolución de problemas químicos

1.- El alumnado de primer curso por primera vez a tiempo completo tienen que matricular 60 créditos. Un 15% del alumnado podrá cursar estudios a tiempo parcial (30 créditos).
2.- Continuación de estudios: libre con un máximo de 75 créditos

Tutorial action plan and welcome programme:
There is a system of personalized tutorials. In the second semester of each academic year a group of third year students are trained to be student-tutors. A training course which is given by qualified professionals, informs the student-tutors about the USC and how to treat new students. The tutoring system then begins on the first day of the next academic year and continues for that entire year. The USC has a student-tutor programme for all degree programmes so that after their initial training is provided by the university, they may offer an orientation programme to students who are beginning their studies.

Programa alumnos titores

Cuando se produzca la suspensión de un Título oficial, la USC garantiza el adecuado desarrollo efectivo de las enseñanzas que hubieran iniciado sus estudiantes hasta su finalización. Para ello, el Consejo de Gobierno aprueba los criterios relacionados, entre otros, con:
• La admisión de matrículas de nuevo ingreso en la titulación.
• La supresión gradual de la impartición de la docencia.
• Si el título extinguido es sustituido por otro similar (modificando la naturaleza del título), fija las condiciones que facilitan a los/las estudiantes la continuidad de estudios en el nuevo título y las equivalencias entre las materias de uno y otro plan.

Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to students with the following degrees/ diplomas or studies, or any other recognized as equivalent to these:
A.1. Spanish Bachiller, European Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.
A.2. Baccalaureate from European Union Member States’ education systems or other countries withinternational agreements.

Mobility

Students are encouraged to study at other national and international universities for a minimum of one semester and a maximum of two semesters as part of their chemistry degree. These exchanges cannot take place during the first two semesters of the first year of study.
Consequently, the objectives and content of the degree will be the objectives and content of the destination university during the exchange period.
It is also considered that mobility actions are especially appropriate for the pursuit of the following Chemistry degree instrumental competences:
-Knowledge of a foreign language
-Interpersonal relation skills
-The ability to adapt to new situations
Student mobility is regulated through the “Rules for interuniversity Exchanges”. The International Relations Office manages national (SICUE), European (Erasmus) and non-EU (Latin American and English speaking countries) exchanges.

Internships

Internships:
According to Article 12.6 of the royal decree 1393/2007, students can gain academic recognition for a maximum of 4.5 optional credits for external work experience that is related to the degree.

Final project:
The final degree project can be studied once the student has achieved 150 credits, which must include all of the subjects from the first half of the degree. To submit the final degree project, the student must have gained all the other necessary credits for the degree. This means at least 225 ECTS must be obtained.
