The Department of Chemistry (https://www.chem.upatras.gr/en/), from its foundation in 1966 and up to today, constitutes one of the most important educational and research units of the University Patras. It is staffed by highly qualified scientific personnel, continuously improves its infrastructure, and maintains a dynamic course of growth, with its highest priorities being undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as the production of high-quality, innovative research of the highest standard. Research in the Department of Chemistry is at the forefront of modern science, both in the core chemical disciplines (inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry) and as a key element of life, environmental and materials sciences (biochemistry, pathobiochemistry and biochemical analysis, synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis and interfacial chemistry, food chemistry and biotechnology, polymer science, structural and environmental chemistry). The faculty members are active in all aspects of the chemical sciences and in constant collaboration with Universities, Research Institutes and Industries in Europe, Asia and USA. The Undergraduate Studies Programme of the Chemistry Department is certified by the Hellenic Quality and Accreditation Agency. The Programme complies with the principles of the “Standards for Quality Accreditation of Undergraduate Programmes” published by HQA and the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG 2015), corresponding to level 6 of the National and European Qualifications Framework.
