Programme of B2
The second year curriculum consists of a fixed core curriculum (including multiple possibilities in quarter four) supplemented by an elective programme.
Some elective courses within chemistry are shown here, but you may choose courses from other degree programmes in your elective space. There are priority electives and other electives. Priority electives are an obvious part of the chemistry core curriculum. A number of other electives have been pre-approved. Others must be taken as free electives.
Some of the courses and many electives are taught in Dutch. Please see the course descriptions.

| Condensed matter (3 EC) and Electricity & Magnetism 2A(3 EC) |
Organic chemistry lab (6 EC) |
| OR: Biochemistry-Molecular Biology II (6 EC) |
OR: Condensed Matter Laboratory (3 EC) |
Priority Electives in the third quarter for second year students are:
| Chemie en samenleving (3 EC) |
Bioinorganic chemistry (3 EC) |
