About the Program

The master of science in Chemistry is a four-semester program. In the first two semesters students take advanced courses in the areas of chemistry in which they do not intend to write their master's thesis, and in the last two semesters they take courses in the area in which they are writing their thesis as well as in neighboring areas. Students write their master's thesis during the fourth semester. The curriculum consists of four modules. The student's grade for each module is made up of a practical examination and an oral examination. The new interdisciplinary module "Methods and Concepts" includes courses from both chemistry and neighboring fields (e.g., physics, biology, microsystems engineering). The degree program is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach and the opportunity to gain experience abroad. Students are allowed to complete some of their coursework at other faculties of the university or at research institutes abroad. This work is recognized in full as credit toward the degree.
