Master of Science in Chemistry

Chemistry is without a doubt a fascinating science – a progressive future would be unthinkable without it. It is used in research laboratories to develop new materials and substances that accompany us in daily life as seemingly invisible helpers. Chemical reactions are found both in the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) world. The art of transferring knowledge derived from nature into research and development never ceases to inspire researchers the world over. Chemistry provides a richness of perspectives and professional variety, and it is an important component of the sustainable development of our social prosperity. In particular, the production, conversion and storage of energy are fundamentally important chemical issues for current and future generations. Students in the Chemistry Master’s programme acquire detailed knowledge in the following areas: - chemical research and scientific work methods - topical challenges in the core and sub-disciplines of chemistry - scientific and occupation-qualifying competences in chemistry-related application areas They can choose classes from several fields of Chemistry: - Inorganic Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Physical Chemistry - Analytical Chemistry - Macromolecular Chemistry - Theoretical Chemistry - Energy Technology In addition, students have the opportunity to earn a certificate by choosing up to two of the following thematic profiles to combine with their subject profiles: - Chemistry of Energy Storage and Conversion - Sustainable, Green and Environmental Chemistry - Chemistry of Molecular Materials Light Matter Interaction - Chemistry of Healthcare and Biomaterials
