International Undergraduate Program
Getting to Know: Chemistry for Molecular Design
The International Undergraduate Program Chemistry for Molecular Design prepares students to design and engineer molecules with specific and impactful functions. The curriculum covers applications such as functional materials, pharmaceutical compounds, environmentally friendly catalysts, and energy-related innovations, giving students a strong foundation to tackle scientific and technological challenges.
Carrying the tagline “Designing Molecules for a Better Future,” the program emphasizes a scientific spirit rooted in sustainability and human benefit. The slogan reflects the commitment that every molecule designed is a meaningful contribution to society and the future.
Program Advantages
The Bachelor’s Program in Chemistry is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (2022–2027) and LAMSAMA (2023–2027). Its curriculum is aligned with RSC and ACS standards, supported by continuous improvements in educational and research infrastructure to maintain strong academic quality.
The program offers an international OBE-based curriculum delivered in English, taught by faculty with doctoral degrees and active global research collaborations. Students benefit from opportunities for exchanges, joint research, and dual-degree pathways, supported by modern laboratories and a learning approach that integrates theory, experimentation, and computational chemistry for molecular design.
International Partnerships
The Chemistry Program at FMIPA ITB currently has two active partners under formal MoUs:
-
University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia
-
Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University (NPRU), Thailand
In addition, ongoing discussions are being conducted with:
-
University of Groningen (the Netherlands)
-
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia
These partnerships aim to develop joint research, co-supervision, and dual-degree programs in the fields of Molecular Design and Sustainable Chemistry.
In the medium term, the Chemistry Program at FMIPA ITB aims to strengthen its network in Europe and Southeast Asia as part of a science and technology university consortium focused on sustainability.
