Admission procedure

The regular conditions and admission procedures are detailed on the web page "Access to Studies" : http://www.ucl.ac.be/etudes/libres/acces.html

Programme content

"Options" and "free choice" courses

Registration for the options and free choice courses must be approved by the Chemistry Department before the end of the third week of each quadrimester. This registration will then be handed in to the secretary's office of the Faculty and the jury secretary. The specific practical procedures relating to the "licence" options and the thesis, not detailed below, are established by the Chemistry Department and made known to the students.
