About the Program

Students can choose from chemistry in its many facets in this strongly research-oriented degree programme. Extensive compulsory elective areas allow for individual focal points. State-of-the-art methods are learned at the faculty's modern pool of large-scale equipment. The degree programme is composed entirely of elective modules, which ensure a minimum breadth of chemical specialisation, but above all enable individual profiling, also with content from the neighbouring natural sciences, mathematics and computer science. For specialisations that are oriented towards the research foci of the faculty, a corresponding note can be included in the transcript: Functional Biomolecular Chemistry, Sustainable synthesis chemistry and catalysis, Modern Methods, Theory & Simulation. Practical courses take place in direct connection with the research groups of the faculty and on the basis of current research topics. The degree programme thus specifically prepares students for a further doctorate or entry into industry.
