No prerequisites have been established, although it is recommended to have passed the subject of Fundamentals of Chemistry in the first year.

The training received by students of Inorganic Chemistry is essential for the understanding, understanding, design and development of the most important industrial processes in the Chemical Industry. Most of the processes in the chemical industry are related to inorganic compounds such as water treatment, construction materials, polymeric materials, fertilizers, dyes, basic chemicals (H₂SO₄, NH₃, NaOH, HNO₃ etc), new materials (fibers, alloys, nanomaterials, etc), fuel cells, explosives…. The Inorganic Chemistry course is essential for the training of a Chemical Engineer and is practically related to all degree subjects, although we can cite: Separation Operations Chemical, Reaction Engineering Environmental, Technology Materials in Chemical, Engineering Electrotechnics and Electronics, Integrated Laboratory of Basic Operations and Chemical Reaction, Engineering Instrumentation and Control of Chemical Processes, Biochemical Engineering Process and Product Engineering Coal, Oil and Petrochemistry Basic Operations of the Food and Pharmaceutical Industry Risk Analysis, Safety and Occupational Health in the Chemical Industry Renewable Energies and Energy Evaluation of Chemical Processes
