Course Overview

The MicroBachelors® Program in University Chemistry programme which runs for 36 weeks aims to teach students about how physics and chemistry are the keys to solving the unprecedented problems arising all over the globe. This course will provide important insight into concepts of energy and chemistry including electrochemistry, thermodynamics, free energy, acid-base reactions, equilibria, and entropy. The students will not only cover the theoretical aspects related to this course. Still, they will also be able to reason with these concepts quantitatively with the help of case studies provided by the platform.

MicroBachelors® Program in University Chemistry certification course being an introductory level course, is recommended to all those interested in learning more about molecular foundations or global frontiers. Even experienced candidates can apply to this course and hone their existing skills, to perform better than before in their jobs. This course just requires a weekly effort of 4 to 8 hours, adhering to which the students will be able to complete the course in the given time. This online course can be pursued either by paid track or free track. In the free track, the candidates will have access only for a limited duration.
