The course of study
The Master of Science in Chemistry programme is aimed at students who have a Bachelor's degree in chemistry or a subject with a similar profile. It offers a high-quality practical and theoretical chemical education at university level according to the recommendations of the Society of German Chemists and, as an English-language course of study, prepares ideally for working conditions in industry. Among its peculiarities is that both applied subjects with importance for the local economy (analytics, polymer chemistry, building chemistry) and the subjects of the classical canon lay a solid foundation for the future career. For the most part, the study takes place in the groups with access to high-quality scientific equipment and excellent care.

Due to the comparatively low number of first-year students in the field of chemistry, there is a rather familiar atmosphere in contrast to other universities. In my experience, a much closer contact with the lecturers and professors is possible and very good supervision is guaranteed at all times, both in the lectures and exercises as well as in the laboratory internships. In addition, a small group is more likely to form a close community in which you can help and motivate each other. I found this extremely important in this demanding course of study.
Study organisation
Examination regulations/course plans/module manuals/internship regulations
(Professional) examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of an FPO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the case of changes to the FPO during the course of studies, the original version according to which one has enrolled is valid (provided that this FPO does not expire).
The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Additional regulations and details for each module to be studied can be found in the module manuals (e.g. prerequisites for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).
The traineeship regulations define the conditions under which the mandatory or optional traineeships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
