Abstract

The Bachelor and Master Program in Chemistry and Business Studies has been offered by the Chemical Institutes of the University of Zurich since 2004 to meet the growing demand for graduates with solid scientific and technical background but also management skills. The program has attracted a large number of students whilst not affecting the numbers in the chemistry program showing that young people are attracted who would not otherwise have chosen a science degree. Future planned development of the program includes more input from the chemical industry and creation of international contacts.
