Chemistry

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Technische Universität Dortmund Dortmund · North Rhine-Westphalia

About the Program

The Master's degree program Chemistry leads to the degree Master of Science in 4 semesters and enables students to deepen their knowledge and practical skills in light of the current state of research in order to work independently, e.g. in the fields of research, development, production or analytics. The main language of instruction on the Master's degree program is English. This way, students learn to master English technical terms and apply them in an international professional environment. Students can choose between two major fields of study: 'Molecules and Materials' (mainly courses in inorganic and organic chemistry) and 'Experiment and Theory' (courses in physical/theoretical and technical chemistry). In addition to compulsory elective lectures and laboratory courses, students complete a research internship in one subject of the major field. Through the final Master's thesis in the same subject, students demonstrate their ability to work independently in a scientific manner. The program features intensive cooperation with the Department of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology and the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS). Studying abroad for one or two semesters is easily possible during the Master's program, and comparable exams passed successfully abroad can be credited without problems due to the freedom of choice in the program.
