Chemistry

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

During the chemistry degree program, you will immerse yourself in the fascinating world of substances, their properties and their reactions. You will learn how atoms and molecules are structured, how chemical bonds work and which mechanisms drive chemical processes. Your bachelor's degree will teach you the basics of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry as well as analytics - the central disciplines of chemistry. There is a strong focus on practical work in the laboratory. This is where you put theory into practice: you will learn to plan and carry out experiments precisely, work with modern analytical equipment and systematically evaluate the results. You will gain a deep understanding of how chemical findings can be used to find innovative solutions to real-world problems. The program offers three study variants for specialization: inorganic/organic, physical-mathematical, and technically application-oriented.
